A spate of violence in North Memphis has local residents on edge as police report a man was left critically injured following a Sunday afternoon shooting. According to a WREG report, Memphis Police were called to the 1400 block of N Trezevant Street at 12:27 p.m. after reports of gunfire. The unidentified victim was transported to Regional One Hospital in a state that doctors determined was grim.

The assailant, described by authorities as operating a red truck, has yet to be apprehended. In the wake of the incident, tensions are high, with the neighborhood left to wonder who might be behind the trigger. Police are urging anyone with information to come forward and contact Memphis CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH to aid in the investigation.

In a separate but equally harrowing incident, another man was rushed to Regional One Hospital after sustaining critical injuries from an overnight shooting in the 900 block of LaGrange Avenue, happening near the jumble of streets by Jackson Avenue and I-240. As detailed by FOX13 Memphis, the Memphis Police Department (MPD) arrived at the site at about 2 a.m. to discover the victim, who remains unnamed, already at the mercy of his wounds.

The suspect in this nocturnal violence fled the scene in a black sedan, leaving behind no trace but the echoes of the midnight turmoil. This marked continuity in what feels like an unbroken cycle of distress and danger—a rhythm that haunts the streets of North Memphis. Anyone with details that could break the anonymity protecting these perpetrators can share their knowledge with Crime Stoppers at (901) 528-CASH, as reported by Local Memphis.
