"It's just a horrible situation," Brownlee said, "that on a Sunday night when children should be preparing for school (Monday) that you had people shot. It's just disgusting.

"But somebody knows who did this, and we need them to step up and say something."

Police answering the call still had the street blocked, and a car involved in the case was parked on the side of Cleveland at 10 p.m.

"It's just a sad situation" Brownlee said of the shooting with victims including a teenager. He appealed to anyone with information regarding the drive-by shoooting to call Memphis Crime Stoppers (528-CASH), adding: "let's get whoever is responsible for this heinous crime in custody as soon as we can"
