A Hickory Hill block that neighbors say has heard far too many gunshots was back under police lights Monday night after a man was critically wounded in a shooting in southeast Memphis. Officers rushed in after reports of gunfire and found the victim on the scene, then sent him to a hospital where he was listed in critical condition. Residents say the latest attack is one more blow for a street that has already seen multiple shootings in recent months.
Scene and response
According to FOX13 Memphis, officers were called to the 3400 block of Wild Rye Lane around 9:01 p.m. and found a man suffering from gunshot wounds. The station reports he was taken to a local hospital in critical condition while detectives locked down the area, processed the scene and went door to door looking for witnesses.
This block has a history of shootings
This stretch of Wild Rye Lane is no stranger to violent crime. In November 2025, a man was critically injured at the Residence at Village Green Apartments in the 3400 block, according to Action News 5, a reminder that long-running safety worries in the area are not going away on their own.
Police ask for tips
The Memphis Police Department is asking anyone with information, video or photos from Monday night to contact CrimeStoppers or the department's non‑emergency line. The MPD news page lists reporting options and phone numbers. Detectives are urging neighbors to check any door‑cam or dash‑cam footage from around the time of the shooting and to share anything that might help them piece together what happened.
Neighbors and next steps
Local coverage has noted that Hickory Hill residents have repeatedly called for more patrols and cameras after a string of violent incidents, including a mystery body on Charlestowne Place that rattled the neighborhood. The investigation into Monday's shooting is ongoing, and police are asking anyone with information to come forward so detectives can identify suspects and move the case ahead.
