Tennessee police are searching for a teenager who claims to have shot five people, all while recording the violence live on Facebook.

Memphis Police issued an alert for the “ARMED AND DANGEROUS” 19-year-old on Wednesday evening. Officials identified the suspect as Ezekiel Kelly.

“We are getting reports that he is recording his actions on Facebook,” the department said in a statement. “We do not have a specific location of where he is now.”

“If you do not have to be out, stay indoors until this is resolved,” the department added on Twitter.

The gunman is thought to be driving a grey Toyota SUV, according to police.

Memphis police may be following the individual in a car chase into nearby Arkansas, KAIT reports.

The Independent has contacted the MPD for more information.

The violence comes the day after officials charged Cleotha Abston with murdering and kidnapping Eliza Fletcher, a Memphis-area school teacher, whose disappearance shocked the city.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated with new information.
