One of the men accused of being involved with the shooting that killed Sayso P and injured Sauce Walka has died.
On Monday, March 31, the Memphis Police Department announced that Jayden Dandridge was found dead in Houston, Tx. The announcement was made just five days after the same police department named the 21-year-old as a suspect in the shooting. Authorities identified Dandridge and three other men days after they opened fire on Sauce Walka and Sayso P in front of the Westin Hotel near the FedExForum in Downtown Memphis. Investigators formally rescinded the warrant amid the news about Dandridge's death.
MPD also named Kevin Brown as a suspect. Brown is charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, and theft of property between $10,000 and $60,000. The 22-year-old is still on the run.
Dandridge and Brown are accused of joining two other men in ambushing Sauce Walka and his artist Sayso P in the 27-year-old's hometown of Memphis. Police believe the suspects targeted Sayso P and killed him while sparing Sauce. The Houston rapper was shot in the thigh and was transferred to a nearby hospital for treatment. Sayso P died from his injuries on the scene.
As of this report, there's still no word on the identities of the other two alleged suspects.
