The Memphis man was charged last week with killing a friend and then six innocent bystanders in and around the city. He is due back in court on Tuesday for a motion hearing.
Ezekiel Kelly, 19, is suspected of opening fire early on Wednesday, killing three others and injuring three others before allegedly shooting Dewayne Tunstall in the head in a friend's driveway.
Tunstall, the suspect's childhood friend, was detailed to Fox News Digital last week by locals. The killing's cause was not immediately explained by the authorities.
Images from Fox News Digital depict a bloodstain on the driveway and bullet holes in the house's side. There is at least one bullet hole in a window that appears to be a child's bedroom window and has toys on the sill.
The other victims appear to have been chosen at random, in contrast to Kelly, who is accused of terrorising the neighbourhood with shootings and carjackings while driving around town.
Kelly pled guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated assault and served only 11 months of a three-year sentence in a county jail facility. Kelly had previously been charged with two counts of attempted murder and one count of reckless endangerment in connection with a shooting in 2020.
In 2020, two of the three attack victims choose not to speak out. The third was not immediately accessible.
The Shelby County Division of Corrections did not immediately respond when Fox News Digital emailed them for comment on the specifics of his release.
Last Monday, Kelly's public defender, Jennifer Case, asked the court to issue a gag order and rule on any potential conflicts of interest. A hearing on the motion was scheduled for 9 a.m. CT Tuesday
On Wednesday night, around nine o'clock, police put an end to the chaos by using a spike strip to immobilise a stolen car and by apprehending Kelly close to the intersection of Ivan and Hodge Roads. He had a smile on his face in the mugshot.
An innocent customer was killed at an AutoZone store on Jackson Avenue, according to sources, and the suspect streamed parts of the assaults live on Facebook.
When Kelly was informed last week by a court that he may face the death penalty under Tennessee law if found guilty of first-degree murder, Shelby County District Attorney General Steve Mulroy stated that more charges were unavoidable.
