Memphis Police Chief C. J. Davis said that Ezekiel Kelly was
apprehended on Wednesday after multiple shootings. At least one
of the shootings was posted on Facebook.
Earlier on Wednesday, police had warned the public to remain
indoors until he was detained, after alerting them about an
armed and dangerous man responsible for multiple shootings.
"We are getting reports he is recording his actions on Facebook,"
police said then.
One brief video posted on Facebook showed a man rambling "this
is for real" and using coarse language as he opened the door of
a shop and fired twice at the first person to come into view.
Reuters could not verify the video's authenticity.
