The suspect reportedly livestreamed some of the shootings on Facebook.
“We are getting reports that he is recording his actions on Facebook,” the Memphis Police Department wrote on social media before his capture.
According to court records on Kelly obtained by The Associated Press, he was previously charged with attempted first-degree murder, aggravated assault, using a firearm to commit a dangerous felony and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon.
Memphis police director CJ Davis said the suspect had carried out a “sequence of violent acts” beginning just before 1 a.m. Wednesday morning until his arrest that night.
“I want to reassure the community that 19-year-old Ezekiel Kelly is in custody,” Davis said early Thursday morning. “This has been a horrific week for the city of Memphis, and the Memphis Police Department.”
Officials said a suspect terrorized the city for hours on Wednesday evening, shooting victims at multiple crime locations. There were at least seven shootings and a carjacking.
