A shooting rattled the Whitehaven section of Memphis before sunrise Monday, with the incident reported in the 1300 block of Winchester Road around 4:36 a.m. No details on injuries have been confirmed, and the investigation remains active.
What Police Have Said So Far
An MPD dispatcher told WREG that the shooting occurred in the 1300 block of Winchester Road at roughly 4:36 a.m. Monday. At this time, it remains unclear whether anyone was injured as a result of the shooting, and the station has described the situation as a developing story.
No further information — including a possible motive, suspect description, or arrests — has been released in connection with Monday's shooting. The lack of detail reflects how early the incident is in the investigative process, with WREG's report published at 5:16 a.m. on November 9, 2026, about 40 minutes after the reported 4:36 a.m. shooting time.
Winchester Road's History of Gun Violence
Monday's shooting is not the first time gunfire has erupted along the Winchester Road corridor in Memphis. In a separate incident, Memphis police said three people were injured in a shooting on the road on a Wednesday afternoon, with officers responding to the 4800 block of Winchester Road just after 1 p.m., according to a different WREG report.
Further south along the same roadway, officers also responded to a shooting outside the Crazy Mexican sports bar in Southeast Memphis, with MPD saying they arrived at 6433 Winchester Road around 2:06 a.m., per a separate WREG account.
Other Deadly Violence Reported in Whitehaven
Whitehaven itself has seen other violent incidents separate from Monday's report. One account from Local Memphis described separate shootings in the neighborhood that left two men dead and one man injured. In one of those incidents, one man was pronounced dead at the scene while another was taken to a hospital in critical condition, the outlet reported.
In another of those separate Whitehaven incidents, officers responded at 2:11 a.m. to a shooting at an apartment complex on First Green Drive, where a man was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the same report. None of these prior incidents have been tied to Monday's shooting on Winchester Road, and the facts of each remain distinct and separately reported.
As of now, Monday's shooting in Whitehaven remains an open and developing investigation. No injury information, suspect details, or motive have been confirmed, and this article will be updated as more information becomes available.
