Bullet holes scar the door at Rosewood Market in South Memphis, reminders of the tragedy that unfolded.
Just after 10:30 Thursday morning, Memphis Police responded to a shooting at the convenience store. By the time they got there, a man was dead.
Investigators told WREG before the shooting, the victim got into an argument with a friend named Tawon Bradford. Things reportedly escalated to the point of violence, resulting in a deadly shooting.
