MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - A deadly weekend in Memphis with seven people shot and killed. All of it contributing to a skyrocketing number of murders this year over last year. It has experts scrambling for answers.
“I got a phone call at work that my brother had been shot. That’s the hardest thing to take right there to get a phone call like that,” said Jerry Hampton.
Hampton’s 32-year-old brother, DeAngelo, a father of four children, was one of two people shot and killed at a market on South Parkway over the weekend. Hampton said he came to the market to get change for his children’s haircuts a block away.
