In a tragic series of events in Memphis, Tennessee, a suspect, Mavis Christian Jr., aged 52, died from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

At a location on Field Lark Drive, a woman and a 13-year-old girl were killed, and a 15-year-old girl was critically injured. Additionally, another fatal shooting of a woman was reported on Warrington Road.

Christian Jr. was identified as the prime suspect in all three shootings, prompting a widespread search by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. It is believed that each shooting incident involved domestic violence. Reports from CBS Memphis affiliate WREG indicate that Christian Jr. was related to the victims. The incident marks a distressing episode of violence in the Memphis community, highlighting the devastating impact of domestic violence.
