A fatal shooting unfolded on Summer Avenue, resulting in one man's death and the detention of two people by the Memphis police. This incident transpired Monday afternoon at the Hotel Elite, as Action News 5 reported. Authorities were called to the scene at approximately 4:19 p.m. and discovered the victim, who was subsequently transported to Regional One Hospital in a critical state.

According to WREG, despite immediate medical attention, the man succumbed to his injuries. Police, having detained two individuals at the scene, have not yet released their identities or the motives behind the shooting. Despite the proximity of the incident to other local businesses, including a Mexican restaurant, and the bustling thoroughfare of Summer Avenue, the immediate area was cordoned off as part of the crime scene.

Compounding the tragic narrative, FOX13 Memphis obtained graphic surveillance footage that shows the events leading up to the shooting. Witnesses reported seeing three individuals exit a white car with no license plates, engaging in a gunfire exchange with the victim who was also armed. The footage captured a chilling scene, depicting one of the assailants taking the man's gun before fleeing the site.

The Memphis Police Department (MPD) has yet to divulge further details regarding this fatal encounter, as the investigation remains ongoing. The aftermath of this event has undoubtedly shaken the community, leaving many unsettled by the violence that erupted in an otherwise ordinary locale. Police are likely to appeal for additional witnesses as they piece together the circumstances of the shooting, seeking justice for the victim and ensuring the safety and security of the community on Summer Avenue.
