A shooting on Harris Cove in Collierville sent one person to the hospital Saturday night, and as of Sunday, police had not identified a suspect or released details about what led up to the gunfire. Officers responded to the shooting call just before 8 p.m., according to authorities, and found a scene serious enough that detectives were still working it into the following day.
Collierville Police responded to the call on Harris Cove at 7:47 p.m. Saturday, according to WREG. The victim was rushed to Regional One for treatment, as reported by Action News 5, though that outlet's reporting does not specify the person's condition. WREG similarly describes the victim's condition as unknown at the time of its report.
Detectives Comb Scene as Area Stays Closed Off
Detectives from Collierville Police Department remained on scene actively investigating, per the same Action News 5 account. Authorities urged people to avoid the area because it remained an active scene, officers said, according to WREG. No suspect information had been released at the time of publication, WREG reported.
The lack of answers leaves Collierville residents with little clarity heading into the week about what triggered the gunfire or whether anyone is being sought in connection with it. Neither outlet's reporting establishes how many shots were fired or whether anyone beyond the one victim was hurt.
Not the Only Recent Gunfire in Collierville
This is not the first shooting to rattle the suburb this year. In February, Collierville Police said a man was shot at during a road-rage incident on Highway 385, a separate and unrelated case from Saturday's Harris Cove shooting. Police in that case identified the suspect as Royce Alexander, 29, of Moscow, Tennessee, the station's report noted, and he was charged with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, and possession of a controlled substance.
Collierville Police were also searching for suspects after responding to a shots-fired call off Winchester Road in late April, according to a separate Action News 5 report. That incident, like the February road-rage case, is unrelated to Saturday's shooting on Harris Cove, and none of its details have been tied to the weekend's investigation.
For now, the Harris Cove shooting remains an open case, with no word yet from Collierville Police on a suspect, a motive, or the victim's ultimate condition. Residents in the area can expect updates as detectives continue piecing together what happened Saturday night.
