Memphis on pace for another deadly record this year

Five people were killed within hours Wednesday, a result of gun violence happening across Memphis.

According to the city’s crime tracker, 241 murders have been reported as of November 17. That’s more than the same time last year.

In the most high-profile case Wednesday, rapper Young Dolph was gunned down at a cookie shop on Airways.

Earlier, detectives in an unmarked car went back to a motel on East Brooks Road in Whitehaven.


Just hours before, blue lights covered the parking lot. Police said they found a man inside a room just after midnight. He was reportedly shot and killed by someone he knew.

A half hour earlier in North Memphis, police were called to another murder on Howell. This time a man reportedly got into an argument and was shot to death.

In the hours leading up, police were at the scenes of two other murders, one on Ridgeway and another at Shelby Drive and Tulane.

It's about 10-15 cities in the country you can make the same exact thread for this year

Which is crazy cause 2020 was a bloody year itself that saw a lot of record numbers in cities

shyt is wild. I just try my best to be strategic in my movements so I can make it home to my family. Not being in certain places or involved in certain shyt is over half the battle. Random shyt will happen but you control what you can control.

I’m about to move to the sticks in a few months just praying we all are good until then.

You say that like you don’t have a choice.

This information isn't surprising in the slightest to anyone that lives in the area.

As I said earlier this morning, let's not make Young Dolph the face of gun violence in Memphis when kids have literally getting killed by guns all year long without even a fraction of the attention this case is getting. His murder was not your run of the mill killing and more so orchestrated for whatever reason.
