On September 7, 2022, four people were killed and three others injured after a gunman went on a shooting spree in Memphis, Tennessee. The alleged shooter, 19-year-old Ezekiel Kelly, reportedly live-streamed the shooting using Facebook Live.
Shootings
The shootings began at around 12:56 a.m., when a man was found fatally shot on Lyndale Avenue. At 4:38 p.m., another man was found fatally shot on South Parkway East. Video surveillance showed that the gunman had fired multiple shots. Two minutes later, a woman with multiple gunshots to the leg was found at the intersection of Norris Road and Interstate 240. The gunman fled in a sedan eastbound on Norris Road.
At 5:59 p.m., a man was found in critical condition outside of an AutoZone on Jackson Avenue with multiple bullets wounds to the chest. At around the same time, the suspect, 19-year-old Ezekiel Kelly, posted a livestream on Facebook Live in which he reportedly entered an AutoZone, shot a man, and exited.
At 6:12 p.m., police received a tip that Kelly was on Facebook Live claiming that he would harm civilians. They subsequently launched a manhunt for Kelly and ordered a shelter-in-place. At 7:23 p.m., the gunman shot a woman on Poplar Avenue and took her SUV. A minute later, a man was found shot and injured further down the same street. At 8:55 p.m., a woman was found shot on West Raines Road and was later pronounced dead.
At 8:56 p.m., the gunman carjacked a woman driving a Dodge Challenger on Highway 51. Two minutes later, police located the Dodge Challenger northbound on Interstate 55 and arrested Kelly.
Accused
Ezekiel Kelly, aged 19, was previously convicted of a felony. Shortly before he was arrested, Kelly suffered injuries after allegedly crashing a stolen vehicle in Whitehaven. He has been charged with first degree murder.
