Just another day

[The Legion]

There is a 19 yr old man by the name of Ezekiel Kelly driving around the city shooting people.  He started in the Raleigh area and has been moving South to 240.  He has changed vehicles several times.  The Redbirds Baseball game has been stopped but no one is allowed to leave.  The Delta Fair is not allowing anyone in but not sure if they are stopping people from leaving.  At this time he is in a Gray Toyota with Arkansas plates.  The police is also asking all business to shut down.

He has been arrested!!!!!

[Moped]

Apparently shoot and killed two men at different locations and wounded a third woman critically. He bragged on FB Live at point, he’d shot 5 people. 
 

Someone watching the live feed, said he was using a Glock with an extended magazine.

Details are still sketchy, but from the TV coverage, best I can tell, 4 people shot. At least one dead. 3 maybe 4 carjackings as he tried to get away. It started at  an Auto Zone in Frayser were  he walked in and  live streamed himself on FB shooting the 1st victim.  Several more shootings and carjackings took him as far as Southaven. He was captured alive in South Memphis.  But may be injured after wrecking the car he was in. This part is unclear at this time. 

Memphis has gone totally ape chit!

The suspect, Cleotha Henderson, is charged with first-degree murder, especially aggravated assault and tampering with/fabricating evidence.

In this circumstance, what did he do that they are charging him for tampering with/fabricating evidence? Maybe something like he tried to toss weapons/drugs/etc out the window before getting caught?

Probably frantically scrubbing blood out of his car, washing his clothes in the sink, and hiding the victim’s clothes.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Just Memphis being Memphis in both cases.

[Moped]

Have authorities announced the victims names?  Was it all random or was there a pattern to who he was shooting at?

In the two videos I saw he also had a modified Glock firing automatic out of the car window. Evidently while he was going live on Facebook someone said it was fake. He was angry and fired a few more rounds out of the window, turned around and went into Autozone and shot the second man.

If we’re going to hold guns, gun owners, Christians, etc. responsible for stuff like this, shouldn’t judges who turn scum like this back on the street share some culpability as well?

[Chucktshoes]

And now there is an active shooting event going on at the IRS facility on Getwell.

My niece and daughter share a house in Olive Branch. My niece works at the IRS. She made it out safely, but she’s freaking out. I’ve been carrying a pistol, but now I think it’s time to start carrying the .300BO.

I don’t really know any details, just seen the reports and the pictures of a whole bunch of cops outside.

Now they’re saying it was a hoax, but the damage has been done.  The entire city is on edge.
