The Memphis Police Department is on the hunt for three suspects following the fatal shooting of a Frayser beauty store owner earlier this month. The owner of Beauty Royal, Khaled Eleiwa, 46, was found dead outside his shop on North Watkins Street after being shot, according to the Memphis Police Department est.1827.

Responding to the incident on April 19 around 11:40 a.m., officers discovered Eleiwa — also known to the community as Khalid Al Gazowi — with gunshot wounds and pronounced him dead at the scene. As reported by Local Memphis, surveillance footage showed the three suspects arriving in a maroon 2011 Toyota Sequoia with temporary Tennessee tags. Last seen fleeing west on Gowan Drive, the men's attire was described in detail: one dressed in all black with distinctive black and green shoes, another wearing black with red and black gloves, and the third suspect in a black hoodie complemented by a white hat.
