In a shocking development, Jaden Dan Ridge, a suspect in the recent shooting involving Houston rapper Sauce Walka and Memphis artist Sayso P, has been found dead in Houston. Authorities reported that Ridge, 21, was discovered deceased on Monday, shortly after being named in a police warrant for his alleged involvement in a violent incident that left Sayso P dead and Sauce Walka injured.

The shooting occurred on March 22 outside the Western Hotel in Memphis, where Ridge and another suspect reportedly exited a white Dodge Charger to carry out the attack. Sayso P succumbed to injuries sustained in the incident, while Sauce Walka was shot twice in the leg. Following the shooting, surveillance footage captured Ridge’s face, leading police to issue a warrant for first-degree murder, attempted murder, and firearm offenses.

Memphis Police Chief CJ Davis confirmed the use of surveillance cameras and other investigative tools to identify Ridge and the second suspect, Kevin Brown, 22, who is also wanted in connection with the shooting. Brown faces similar charges, including attempted murder and the unlawful use of a firearm during a felony.

Details surrounding Ridge’s death remain unclear, with authorities not disclosing the cause or circumstances of his passing. This sudden turn of events raises numerous questions, particularly regarding the motivations behind his presence in Houston after the violent incident. Sauce Walka, in a public statement, emphasized the importance of accountability and the futility of retaliation, acknowledging the complexities of street life and the consequences of violence.

As the investigation continues, the unfolding situation highlights the dangers associated with street conflicts and the potential for further violence. The community remains on edge as they await more information about Ridge’s death and its implications for those involved in the case.
