Two Dead, Three Critically Injured in Shooting at Memphis Infiniti Sports Bar
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A violent altercation at a Memphis sports bar early Tuesday morning left two men dead and three others injured, including two women and another man, according to the Memphis Police Department (MPD).
Officers responded to a shooting call around 2:00 a.m. at Infiniti Sports Bar & Grill, located on North Watkins Street in the Frayser neighborhood.
Upon arrival, officers discovered a chaotic and active scene where five individuals had sustained gunshot wounds.
According to MPD Colonel Carlos Davis, the shooting was the result of a fight that began inside the bar and escalated into gunfire.
Four individuals were shot inside the establishment, while a fifth victim was shot in the parking lot.
One of the male victims was pronounced dead at the scene outside the bar.
A second male victim was transported to Regional One Health, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The remaining victims — two women and one man — were reportedly driven to area hospitals by private vehicles.
All three were listed in critical condition at the time of the report.
Col. Davis described the situation as “chaotic,” noting that officers had to secure the scene and assist emergency responders amid the confusion.
He also acknowledged that this was not the first incident at the location. In February, MPD previously responded to the bar after a firearm accidentally discharged when an employee reportedly fell while cleaning.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have not yet released information on any potential suspects or arrests.
Police are reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses to determine how the conflict escalated and who was involved.
Anyone with information related to this incident is urged to contact the Memphis Police Department or CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH.
This marks another tragic instance of gun violence at a Memphis nightlife venue, and community leaders continue to call for increased safety measures at establishments prone to recurring disturbances.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
