MEMPHIS, Tenn.– Memphis Police responded to a shooting Thursday night in Southeast Memphis that left one man injured.

Memphis Police said the shooting happened around 8 p.m. at the intersection of Citation and Imagination Drive near the Amazon Fulfillment Center and Disney Warehouse.


The male victim told police he was attempting to pick up a package from Amazon when two males traveling south on Citation in black Buick Lacrosse approached him.
