Memphis Police Investigate Shooting at Birthday Party, One Person Critically Injured
Memphis Police are investigating an aggravated assault involving shots fired at a birthday party in the Nutbush neighborhood. Officers responded to the 1200 block of Maria Street just before 1:45 a.m. after receiving reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, juveniles at the scene directed officers to a friend who had been shot. The victim was found conscious near the kitchen area and was immediately given first aid, including a tourniquet and chest seal, before being transported to the hospital in critical condition. A witness reported that after the party ended, two to three men wearing ski masks approached the victim in the driveway. The witness saw one man with a handgun and heard the victim say, “Chill, chill, chill,” followed by two gunshots. The witness then ran back inside the house. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact Crimestoppers.
