Early this morning, a shooting took place in a South Memphis neighborhood that resulted in the injury of a woman. The Memphis Police Department responded to a call at a residence on the 2000 block of Benford Street, where they discovered a woman with a gunshot wound to her foot, as reported by WREG.

According to the same source, the incident began when an unidentified suspect was heard banging on the door and yelling, causing one of the residents to alert the others in the home. Upon opening the shattered glass door, one of the male residents encountered gunfire and subsequently sought cover. The assailant, described as one of the victim's ex-partners, was seen fleeing the scene in a navy blue Infiniti, heading southbound on Benford Street.

Action News 5 further confirms that the woman wounded during the shooting was transported to Methodist University Hospital and is reportedly in non-critical condition. The suspect, meanwhile, is at large, and police are urging anyone with information about the case to come forward by calling 901-528-CASH to assist in their ongoing investigation.

The neighborhood was cordoned off with crime scene tape, and an active police presence was noted by FOX13, which also mentioned that the victims of the incident knew the shooter. The events, pieced together from the accounts given to police, suggest a personal connection may be at the root of the assault, as the victims were familiar with the gunman.

Memphis police are working to identify and capture the suspect responsible for a violent incident. The investigation continues.
