Memphis, TN December 3, 2021--Two girls are dead after a shooting that also injured another teen and a 9-month-old baby.

Memphis Police said the victims, three teenage girls, and a baby were at a gas pump inside a red Infiniti when a dark-colored Nissan pulled up beside them and fired several shots. The driver of the Nissan fled the scene.

Two teens were taken to Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, but police reported that they had died from their injuries. Another 16-year-old and her baby are listed in non-critical condition.

Tonya Dockins said her niece, Phillexus Buchanan,  was a 10th grader at Hamilton High School, and her 16th birthday would’ve been this month.
A post on the Wooddale High Facebook account stated, “On Friday night, Wooddale High School suffered a tremendous loss within our family,��� the statement said. “A senseless act of violence took the life of our student-athlete, Breunna Woods. Breunna was a gentle individual that performed exceptionally well within the classroom and on the court. Every day, she embraced us with her smile and fashion. As we all try to cope with this heartbreaking pain, please continue to pray for her family.”

The Nissan was later recovered, but no arrests have been made, police said. 

The motive behind the shooting is unknown, he said.
