Investigation Still in Early Stages
According to localmemphis.com, the Memphis Police Department has not identified a suspect, and an MPD spokesperson confirmed the investigation remains ongoing. Investigators have not released the identity of the man who was killed, and no information about a motive or weapon has been made public. The outlet's report notes it will be updated as additional details are received.

Raleigh Has Seen Other Shootings in Recent Memory
Tuesday's killing is not the only shooting to draw Memphis police to the Raleigh area in recent memory, though the incidents are unrelated. In February 2025, officers were called around 3:15 a.m. to Gibbs Parkway near Raleigh-Millington Road, and as reported by actionnews5.com, police said at the time there was no victim and that the investigation was ongoing.
In a separate case, wreg.com reported that a 16-year-old boy was charged with reckless homicide after a juvenile boy was shot and killed at The Luxe at Raleigh Apartments, in the 4100 block of Olathe Drive near Raleigh Millington Road. Officers in that case responded just after 9 a.m. on a Sunday morning, per the same outlet's reporting.
Memphis police have not said whether Tuesday's shooting on Lansdowne Drive is connected to any prior incident in the Raleigh area, and no such link has been suggested by investigators. The case remains open, and anyone with information has not yet been given a specific tip line in the reporting so far.
