A woman is fighting for her life after a shooting on Aden Street rocked a Frayser block Saturday, drawing a heavy police and medical response to the quiet residential stretch.
Officers with the Memphis Police Department were called to the 3100 block of Aden Street, where they found a woman suffering from serious gunshot wounds. Medics rushed her to a hospital, where she was listed in critical condition, authorities said. Police kept the area taped off into the evening while investigators searched for evidence and went door to door looking for anyone who might have seen or heard what happened.
The department told FOX13 Memphis that officers found the victim on the 3100 block and that the suspected shooter took off in a silver vehicle. Police have not yet released a detailed description of the suspect or a possible motive. Detectives say the case remains very much active as they review evidence and continue interviewing witnesses.
Police Ask Community For Tips
Investigators are calling on neighbors and anyone passing through the area to check their phones, cameras, and vehicles for potential clues. Authorities are asking anyone with information, security footage, or dash-cam video from around the time of the shooting to contact Crime Stoppers of Memphis and Shelby County at 901-528-2274 or submit a tip through its website. Crime Stoppers' public guidance also notes that anonymous tips can be sent by texting the keyword "AWARD" to 274637.
What Officials Are Doing
City leaders and federal partners have stepped up enforcement in recent months, pointing to a broader push to tamp down violent crime across Memphis. The Memphis Safe Task Force has reported nearly 4,700 arrests and more than 750 illicit firearms seized as part of that effort. The task force's recent activity was outlined by WBBJ, with officials saying the goal is to make neighborhoods like Frayser safer.
Anyone who witnessed the Aden Street shooting or has relevant video is urged to call the Memphis Police Department non-emergency line or reach out to Crime Stoppers. In an active emergency, people should call 911. Police say they will release more details as they become available and are asking residents to come forward with any information that might help move the investigation forward.
