According to Action News 5, the incident happened around 1 a.m. at the Highland Hills Apartments on Fosterwood Drive. Upon arrival, officers discovered a man who had succumbed to his injuries and was declared dead at the scene.
Additional details are sparse as Memphis Police have not yet released suspect information, contributing to a growing unease amongst residents. The authorities are urging anyone who might have information to come forward, as reported by FOX13 Memphis. The police responded to the shooting just after 12:40 a.m., and despite their efforts, a suspect has yet to be apprehended, which leaves a shroud of uncertainty over the community.
