The Memphis Police Department (MPD) is working at an unprecedented pace to solve a high-profile shooting involving S Walker and Say So. In a recent episode, Witty Apparatus broke down the latest developments in the case, highlighting how law enforcement has leveraged surveillance footage to identify a key suspect: Jaden Dandridge.
Authorities have been methodically piecing together the timeline using security footage, tracking vehicles, and analyzing forensic evidence. Within just 12 hours, MPD had gathered enough proof to issue an arrest warrant—underscoring the speed and efficiency of their investigation.
Surveillance Footage Exposes the Suspect
One of the most crucial breakthroughs in the case came from security footage inside a local convenience store. The video shows a man, later identified as Jaden Dandridge, removing his mask—exposing his face just long enough for authorities to connect him to the crime.
Additional footage captured outside the store shows individuals tied to the case switching vehicles in a parking lot. Investigators believe the suspects abandoned a stolen Dodge Charger—reportedly used in the shooting—before transferring into another getaway car.
Another key piece of evidence is a video clip allegedly showing Dandridge holding a firearm and a backpack. His facial expression, described as confident and composed, suggests he may have believed he had evaded law enforcement. However, the footage now plays a pivotal role in linking him to the crime scene.
While Dandridge was caught on camera unmasked, an unidentified accomplice kept his face concealed, making his identification more challenging. The footage also shows the suspect carrying what appears to be a Draco-style firearm, further implicating him.
How MPD Built Its Case So Quickly
The rapid turnaround in the case is a testament to MPD’s use of advanced surveillance tactics. Investigators tapped into citywide security cameras, traffic monitoring systems, and retail security footage to piece together the suspects’ movements.
One intriguing detail is that the stolen Dodge Charger used in the crime had dealer plates. Experts speculate that the suspects may have believed this would help them avoid detection, but authorities were still able to track the vehicle’s movements.
With an overwhelming amount of video evidence, MPD appears confident in its case against Dandridge. As the investigation continues, law enforcement may use this footage to identify additional suspects and strengthen their prosecution.
If all allegations hold up in court, Dandridge faces serious legal consequences, marking yet another example of how technology is transforming modern crime-solving.
