Deputies found two men there. Kendrick Collier, 18, of Memphis, reported he had been riding in a car with some friends when he was robbed and shot several times. Collier remains in the Regional Medical Center tonight in stable condition after surgery this past weekend.

Another person in the car, Antonio Lynn, 20, of Memphis, suffered head injuries. He was treated and released at the scene.
