Two men were rushed to the hospital in critical condition after a shooting Monday evening in the Parkway Village neighborhood, turning a stretch near Poplar Avenue and Ridgeway Road into an active crime scene. Police said the gunfire actually rang out around Andorra Court and Mediterranean Drive, and officers later found the victims nearby. Both victims are male, though authorities have not released their ages, and they remained listed in critical condition as detectives worked the scene. No arrests had been reported, and investigators had not identified a suspect.
According to Action News 5, officers were first dispatched just after 5:30 p.m. and found evidence of the shooting on Poplar, even though the attack itself happened on the side street nearby. The station reported that both men were rushed to area hospitals in critical condition and that investigators had not publicly outlined a possible motive.
Parkway Village has seen repeated gun violence in recent years, including late-night shootings and fatal encounters, and residents and local leaders have raised ongoing concerns about public safety. Coverage of earlier Parkway Village shooting cases has highlighted that pattern along the Poplar corridor.
Police Response And Next Steps
Detectives remained on scene collecting evidence and canvassing the area for witnesses, according to Action News 5. The Memphis Police Department has urged anyone with information or video related to the shooting to contact CrimeStoppers and share what they know.
