MEMPHIS, Tenn. — One person is dead following a shooting at a motel in the airport area early Monday morning.
Police were called to the Garden Inn on American Way and Lamar Avenue around 2:30 a.m.
Preliminary information suggests there was an argument between two individuals in the motel lobby which resulted in shots being fired. The male victim was pronounced dead on the scene.
