On March 22, 2025, Houston rapper Sauce Walka was involved in a shooting incident in downtown Memphis near the FedExForum. Around 2:42 p.m. local time, a suspect vehicle approached, and multiple individuals exited, firing shots before fleeing the scene. Sauce Walka was shot in the thigh and was transported to a hospital in non-critical condition; he is expected to survive. His father, Albert Walker, expressed gratitude, stating, “Had it not been for God, my son would’ve been dead.”
Tragically, another individual, identified as Sayso P—a TSF artist affiliated with Sauce Walka—was killed in the shooting. Hours before the incident, videos and photos surfaced showing Sauce Walka, Sayso P, and rapper YTB Fatt enjoying time together in Memphis.
Memphis police have described the incident as a “targeted shooting” and assured that it was not a random act of violence. Authorities are actively working to make an arrest, utilizing downtown camera footage and other available technology.
Following the incident, a video surfaced showing the aftermath of the shooting, with Sauce Walka receiving medical attention and Sayso P lying unresponsive.
