Memphis police spent the overnight hours working a shooting scene near South Parkway East and LaPaloma Street, with officers and detectives remaining on site into the early morning. The investigation is still underway, and authorities have not released any suspect information.
Officers were dispatched to the intersection after calls of shots fired, according to WREG. No arrests were immediately reported as detectives continued processing the area for evidence.
What authorities are asking for
The Memphis Police Department is turning to the public for help. Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or captured it on camera is asked to contact CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH (2274) or MPD’s non-emergency dispatch at 901-545-COPS (2677), per the Memphis Police Department. Officials note that anonymous tips and video footage routinely help detectives piece together what happened and develop leads.
Where this fits
The overnight call is the latest to shake the South Parkway corridor, which has seen multiple shootings in recent months. A February fatal shooting outside a BP on South Parkway East and McMillan was previously reported by Action News 5, and local reporting has urged residents to hang on to any doorbell or dash-cam footage that might help investigators. Hoodline coverage has highlighted a pattern of incidents along the corridor and the importance of tips and surveillance in ongoing probes.
How to report tips
Officials ask residents to keep original video files and then contact CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH or call MPD’s non-emergency line at 901-545-COPS (2677) to share information, per the city’s police tips page. If there is an immediate safety concern, call 911. Otherwise, pass any evidence or information directly to detectives or through the tip hotlines so investigators can follow up.
