Frayser club closed as nuisance after deadly mass shooting
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Frayser bar that was the scene of a mass shooting that killed two people and injured three last week is being closed as a public nuisance until further notice.
Law enforcement and city government officials made the announcement Wednesday at Infiniti Sports Bar & Grill on 2536 North Watkins Street.
'The disruption of peace in this neighborhood, today it ends,' said Mayor Paul Young outside the bar. 'We're taking decisive action to shut it down.'

Police Chief C.J. Davis called the club a 'persistent hotspot for criminal activity.'
Davis said MPD has responded to 93 calls for service at the club, including homicides, shots fired, and armed parties. In the first five months of 2025, Infiniti Sports Bar has been the scene of 26 incidents, including four homicides, one of which was the city's first homicide of the year.
As officials were setting up for a press conference in front of the club on Wednesday, police were making an arrest for illegal alcohol sales, an officer informed Davis.
WREG has reported on several incidents at Infiniti Sports Bar over the years. A Google Streetview image shows three MPD cruisers and a News Channel 3 vehicle in the club's parking lot, presumably after a shooting we reported on in 2018.
