Yesterday morning, a shooting in the 600 block of Marble Avenue resulted in two victims being rushed to the hospital in critical condition. This violent incident occurred around 2:30 a.m., where initially one victim was discovered by responding officers and the second victim managed to reach the hospital via private vehicle, as reported by the Memphis Police Department.
The suspect of the shooting, described as a light-complected Black male around 45 years of age, remains at large. Witnesses have noted that the man is bald, 5’8″ tall and approximately weighs 175 pounds. Carrying a black handgun was seen during the crime. Despite the early morning darkness that wrapped the street when the crime happened, the suspect’s discolored skin was noted, offering a distinct feature that could aid in his capture.
A potential threat to the community, his identification and capture remain a priority for law enforcement. Those who can provide assistance are encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers at 901-528-CASH (2274), and may do so anonymously if they choose.
