MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Police in Memphis, Tenn., have arrested a man they say drove around the city for hours shooting at people.

Four victims are dead and three others are wounded after seven shootings and at least two carjackings.

Police Director Cerelyn “CJ” Davis said 19-year-old Ezekiel Kelly livestreamed his actions on Facebook Wednesday. She said Kelly was arrested without incident at around 9 p.m. Wednesday after crashing a stolen car.

Davis thanked the many people who called in tips for helping police locate him.

Records show Kelly is a felon who was released early from a prison term for aggravated assault.
