Multiple shootings were reported in Memphis in the US on Wednesday evening by a 19-year-old black suspect who recorded his actions on Facebook, police said, leaving four dead. The suspect who was identified as Ezekiel Kelly, is now in custody.

Three others were also wounded in the seven shootings across the city, Memphis Police Director Cerelyn "CJ" Davis told Associated Press.

Earlier, the Memphis Police Department had asked people to be on the lookout. "Be on the lookout for a male Black ... who is responsible for multiple shootings. We are getting reports that he is recording his actions on Facebook. We do not have a specific location of where he is now."

They further urged citizens to stay indoors. "The suspect is still at large. If you do not have to be out, stay indoors until this is resolved," police said.

The police released a picture of the teen as well as a description of the vehicle that he is driving. While he was initially in a blue or silver sedan with the "rear window busted out", police said that he is now in a grey SUV.
