Gunfire cracked through the Greenbriar Apartments in Frayser on Friday night, leaving a man wounded and a familiar sense of unease hanging over the complex. Memphis police say the shooter bolted before officers got there and is still on the run.
The victim was taken by private car to Methodist University Hospital, where he was being treated, according to police. The shooting happened inside the Greenbriar complex near Madewell Street, an area where neighbors say gunfire is hardly a stranger. Officers are asking anyone who knows anything to call Crime Stoppers at 901-528-CASH instead of trying to play detective in the courtyard.
Police say they responded after multiple reports of shots being fired. Investigators told FOX13 Memphis they have not released a suspect description and are leaning on residents for help. Detectives are urging people in and around the complex to review any doorbell or dash-cam footage for possible clues, and to share tips directly with Crime Stoppers or Memphis police rather than confronting anyone themselves.
