Teen fatally shot at Memphis fitness center.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – Police in Memphis are searching for a male who walked into a fitness center and fatally shot an 18-year-old.

The Commercial Appeal reports (http://bit.ly/1fuabZq ) the person fled on foot from the Southeast Memphis fitness center Friday night after the shooting.

Witnesses and relatives at the scene told the newspaper a fight over a basketball game at the center had preceded the fight.

Police did not confirm the identity of the victim Friday night. A crowd of approximately 30 to 40 of the victim’s relatives gathered in a grassy area near the parking lot. Pamela Poole-Terry, who identified herself as the victim’s aunt, says the teen “was in some place where he paid for a membership and he got killed because he shot basketball well today.”
