Both Sauce Walka and Sayso P were attacked by armed gunmen in downtown Memphis on Saturday afternoon.
The attack that left Sauce Walka shot and another man dead in downtown Memphis can be seen in new surveillance footage published. In the graphic video, several gunmen jump out of a car and open fire on the Houston rapper. Police say Memphis artist, Sayso P, who was 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed on the scene, was the intended target.
The new camera angle shows the men assassinate Sayso P as a man presumed to be Sauce Walka sprints away from the scene. Despite getting away, Sauce ended up taking gunshot wounds to the leg. He later posted a video on social media to confirm he’s doing okay. “45 shots when I was 15 years old,” Sauce remarked. “This sh*t ain’t nothing new.”
Sauce Walka has released several popular singles throughout his years in hip hop, including “Texas Cyclone” and “Where Was You At.” Additionally, he’s collaborated with several iconic artists, including A$AP Rocky, Bun B, Chief Keef, Maxo Kream, Migos, Slim Thug, Travis Scott, Trinidad James, and XXXTentacion. Sayso P was still up-and-coming in the Memphis music scene at the time of his tragic death at the age of 27.
The identities of the men who shot at Sauce Walka and Sayso P in the video remain unclear. Police have yet to make any arrests. The Memphis Police Department says it is currently investigating the incident and issued a statement to reassure the safety of citizens in the area. “We want to assure our community and visitors that downtown Memphis is a safe place.
