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.
