Three men were left injured following a brazen daylight shooting at a Parkway Village gas station on Wednesday, as reported by FOX13. Memphis police were called to the scene in the 4800 block of Winchester Road around 1 p.m., where surveillance footage captured a trio of suspects dressed in black, with one sporting a "Gallery Dept" hoodie, opening fire on the unsuspecting victims.
While two of the victims were rushed to Regional One Hospital in critical condition, and another man was listed as non-critical, the Memphis Police Department is now on the hunt for the three individuals responsible for this act of violence, who fled in a gray Nissan Altima, as described in a segment obtained by WREG. Neighbors from an apartment complex across from the crime scene expressed little surprise at the incident, attributing it to excessive loitering that has been tolerated in the area, with resident Marcus Mosby stating, “It’s not shocking because for one reason they just let them loiter around at the store too often anyway, so it doesn’t surprise me,” according to FOX13.
The investigation, still underway, moves forward as police disseminate images and footage from the shooting in a bid to capture the gunmen, last seen traveling northbound on Boxdale Street, these details have been released to the public in an effort to elicit aid in their apprehension as stated by Action News 5.
Authorities are urging anyone with information to step forward and contact Crime Stoppers at 901-528-CASH, callers will receive a secret ID number, and ensuring complete anonymity in the process. The community remains on edge, grappling with the sheer audacity of the daytime attack and the reality that such violence permeates even the most mundane settings, as captured on the chilling surveillance video provided by the police.
