The older brother of rapper Yo Gotti, Anthony Mims, also known as Big Jook, was gunned down Saturday afternoon at a funeral reception on Winchester.
Anthony Mims was reportedly hit multiple times in what appears to be a targeted shooting.
Video posted on social media shows a man on the ground, unconscious – his white shirt soaked in blood.
Memphis Police confirmed to KWAM that one person was rushed to St. Francis Hospital where he was pronounced dead. A second victim arrived at St. Francis by private vehicle.
He is reportedly in critical condition.
There is a heavy police presence at St. Francis as well as the parking lot of the Perignons Restaurant.
Scanner traffic indicated the hospital had been placed on lockdown. St. Francis has not returned calls seeking comment.
TMZ reports: “Sources with direct knowledge tell us the rapper’s older sibling was gunned down Saturday in Memphis on near Winchester Road. Per reports, this murder took place after he’d attended a funeral service in the area.”
Police did not release the names of the victims or any information on possible suspects.
Former Shelby County Commissioner Tami Sawyer wrote this on her X feed.
“Not a good look y’all. And he was leaving a funeral,” she wrote. “Not a good look at all. So sorry for Gotti and his family. So sorry for all the families caught up in this violent cycle.”
