In a tragic incident in downtown Memphis, Sauce Walka and his artist SaySo P were shot on Saturday while shopping. Reports indicate that SaySo P, whose real name is unknown, has died from his injuries, while Sauce Walka is currently hospitalized and in stable condition. The shooting appears to be targeted, with witnesses suggesting that the assailants specifically aimed for SaySo P.
The incident took place around 2:42 p.m. on George W. Lee Avenue, near the FedEx Forum. According to Memphis police, the shooting was not random violence but rather an isolated incident. Eyewitness accounts describe a vehicle from which multiple shots were fired, targeting the two men as they exited a hotel. This suggests that the shooting was premeditated rather than a spur-of-the-moment act.
Sauce Walka, known for his flashy lifestyle and social media presence, may have attracted unwanted attention during his visit to Memphis. Some observers have noted that posting about his wealth while in an unfamiliar city can provoke hostility, particularly in areas with existing rivalries. The nature of the incident raises questions about whether local tensions played a role, as SaySo P is reportedly from Memphis and may have had local conflicts.
The police are actively investigating the situation and have identified a suspect vehicle. The community has been urged to assist in providing information that could lead to the apprehension of those responsible. As the circumstances surrounding the shooting continue to unfold, this incident underscores the dangers that can accompany fame and the complexities of navigating relationships in different communities.
