MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A young man who went on an hourslong shooting rampage around Memphis, Tennessee, gunning down at least four people, was arrested on Wednesday night, police said.
Ezekiel Dejuan Kelly, 19, was taken into custody without incident in the Memphis neighborhood of Whitehaven at around 9 p.m. local time after a high-speed chase, according to Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn"CJ" Davis.
"The homicide division and other investigative units are actively working these crime scenes now, and numerous felony charges are pending," Davis told reporters at a press conference early Thursday. The police chief said Kelly recorded at least some of his actions on Facebook Live, including when he opened fire inside a store on Jackson Avenue just before 6 p.m. A spokesperson for Facebook's parent company, Meta, told ABC News that the content was identified and removed prior to the Memphis Police Department's initial public alert about the incident.
As the gunman terrorized the city, the Memphis Area Transit Authority temporarily suspended trolley and bus services out of"an abundance of caution and care for the safety of its drivers and riders." "This has been a horrific week for the city of Memphis and the Memphis Police Department," Davis told reporters.
