The incident at Makeda’s Cookies on Airways was caught on tape by chance (seen above) thanks to ABC24 Memphis cameras, which left many shocked at the response time by police on the scene. According to TMZ, the man was shot about half a mile from the cookie shop and thankfully is in non-critical condition. Two suspects were immediately detained by authorities, followed by the detainment of a third after a short chase.
It’s not clear whether or not these suspects are connected to the two gunman who were caught on camera during Dolph’s murder that are being regarded as prime suspects.
