Memphis, TN — Rapper Sauce Walka, born Albert Walker Mondane, was shot in Memphis on Saturday afternoon near the FedExForum.
According to his family, the artist sustained gunshot wounds to his legs but is expected to make a full recovery.
Tragically, his associate, rapper Sayso P, was also shot and did not survive.
Memphis police held a press conference late Saturday night, confirming that the attack was not random but a deliberate and targeted assault.
Authorities revealed that Sauce Walka and Sayso P were standing outside a vehicle when a group of armed individuals arrived in a white four-door vehicle and opened fire.
