“During the investigation that followed, WMPD Detectives located other victims at the Regional One Trauma Center in Memphis,” said Mitchell. “These victims all had non-life threatening gunshot wounds from the incident at the club.”

Detectives gathered evidence and statements at the crime scene that led them to develop Raheem Stackhouse, age 20, of Shady Grove as the suspect in the shootings. WMPD Officers located Stackhouse soon after at his residence in Shady Grove and he was taken into custody without incident.

“Stackhouse cooperated with detectives and gave a statement regarding the shooting incident,” Mitchell said. “According to multiple witness statements, the shooting stemmed from an alteration inside the club earlier that evening.”

Stackhouse was arraigned in West Memphis District Court on Monday, Feb. 8.

Stackhouse was formally charged with 1st Degree Murder, a Terroristic Act, and six counts of Battery in the 1st Degree. Crittenden County District Judge Fred Thorne set Stackhouse’s bond at $350,000.
