Sayso P & Sauce Walka Shooting Suspect Arrested in Tennessee
U.S. Marshalls arrested a suspect in the shooting of Sauce Walka and the murder of rapper Sayso P.
As reported by local Memphis outlet Action News 5, Marshalls arrested 23-year-old Kevin “KJ” Brown in Clarksville, Tennessee, on Wednesday (Oct. 22). He was charged with first-degree murder, two counts of employing a firearm during a dangerous felony and theft of property. Brown was apprehended at a motel on Wilma Rudolph Boulevard and taken to Montgomery County Jail while he awaits extradition.
Another suspect, Jayden Dandridge, was previously found dead in Houston days after the shooting.
Billboard has reached out to U.S. Marshalls for confirmation and further details about Wednesday’s arrest.
Sauce Walka (real name: Albert Walker Mondane) and Sayso P (Latorian Hunt) were shot back in March outside a hotel near Memphis’ FedExForum. A car with multiple people in it pulled up and began firing on the rappers, with Sayso P being fatally shot. Walka was shot in the leg and recovered in a local hospital. Shortly after, Walka mourned Sayso P in a heartfelt Instagram post.
“Words or tears can’t explain the loss I feel!” he wrote. “Splatt, I wish your fat ahh listened to me and stayed in the room. I told you we could smoke that blunt after security and the rest of our familia pull up.. Sosaman told you, ‘F dat weed, wait til we leave an hit Superior first.’ You always so hardheaded blood, but you know I’ma ride wit you regardless. We come together, we leave together. Wish you just went [to] DR with Shimmy and shot off, and skipped this trip to Memphis, but you was to excited I finally agreed to come to da ‘M.’”
In a follow-up interview, Sauce Walka said he had no intention of avenging Sayso’s death, saying that wouldn’t be a “righteous” act.
