The Memphis Police Department (MPD) confirmed the news, announcing that Dandridge’s arrest warrant is now inactive following his death. This revelation comes just five days after MPD publicly identified him as a suspect in the downtown shooting that resulted in the death of Sayso P, whose real name was Lorian Hunt, and left Houston rapper Sauce Walka injured.

The investigation into the shooting remains active, with police identifying a second suspect, Kevin Brown, 22, who is still at large. Brown has been charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder, along with additional charges related to firearms and theft valued between $10,000 and $60,000.

The shocking developments surrounding this case have drawn significant media attention, particularly due to the connections between the parties involved. Sayso P was well-known in the Memphis rap scene, and his untimely death has sparked conversations about violence in the industry. Sauce Walka, who was also injured in the shooting, has taken to social media to express his grief and concern over the ongoing violence that affects artists in the community.
Dandridge’s death raises questions about the circumstances surrounding his demise. Speculation abounds regarding whether it was related to the ongoing investigation or if it stemmed from personal conflicts. Some theories suggest that he may have taken his own life, given the weight of the charges against him and the media scrutiny.
The situation remains fluid, with police continuing their pursuit of Kevin Brown and seeking further information from the public. As the investigation unfolds, the community reflects on the tragic loss of Sayso P and the implications of violence within the hip-hop culture.
