Memphis police are moving to close Legends Lounge in Hickory Hill, alleging the business is a nuisance and citing 58 documented incidents since March 15, 2023, including six involving gunfire and one homicide. MPD also identified seven incidents stemming from the club.
MPD said the seven additional incidents included conflicts that continued at a neighboring gas station and shootings after people left the club.
During an Aug. 9 search, officers found more than 300 people inside the lounge, which has a maximum occupancy of 99, according to MPD. Investigators made multiple arrests and found employees with outstanding warrants, armed security working without proper licensing, and evidence related to illegal drug activity and unlawful alcohol sales. MPD seized more than $7,000 based on probable cause that the money was linked to illegal drug activity.
