DEVELOPING STORY: A teenager was shot and killed Sunday evening in Tom Lee Park. The attack happened during a food truck festival. Video, which you can watch below, shows dozens of terrified festival-goers running for cover.

Memphis Police say the suspect is believed to be a black juvenile who was wearing all black clothing and a black ski mask.

MPD spokesman Gary Badgett told reporters they received a shots fired call at 6:46 p.m. and “officers responded swiftly.” The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

Eyewitnesses say the young man had been shot multiple times. His body was spotted on the ground near the children’s playground in the multi-million dollar, newly-renovated park.

“While incidents like these are deeply troubling, they do not define our city,” Badgett told reporters.

On the contrary, Memphis is one of the deadliest cities in America. Under the rule of Democrats, our great city has become defined by the violence that happened tonight in Tom Lee Park.

Memphians who attended the food festival were horrified by what happened.

“My daughter and grandchildren attended Tom Lee Park,” one resident wrote on Facebook. “Unfortunately, they were exposed to gunshots and the disturbing sight of a body on the ground, which is far too much for a child to handle.”

“I’m afraid that it’s going to be a bloody summer,” wrote another.

Mayor Paul Young, who has claimed that his policies have led to a massive drop in crime, has yet to comment on the latest murder.
