MEMPHIS, Tenn.—At the request of 30th Judicial District Attorney General Steve Mulroy, TBI special agents continue to investigate the circumstances of an officer-involved shooting Friday night involving the Memphis Police Department.

Preliminary information indicates the incident occurred near the intersection of Park Avenue and Grand Street, where Memphis police officers observed a large group of individuals in the parking lot of a business and approached. After an officer exited his squad car, a man drove his vehicle aggressively toward the officer, hitting him. In response, the officer’s partner fired upon the vehicle, striking the man, who continued to drive from the immediate scene and crashed into a nearby bus stop. Medics transported the man to the hospital, where he was listed in critical condition. The officer sustained minor injuries.

TBI agents are working to independently determine the series of events leading to the shooting, including collecting evidence and conducting interviews. Throughout the process, investigative findings will be shared with the District Attorney General for his further review and consideration. The TBI acts solely as fact-finders in its cases and does not determine whether the actions of an officer were justified in these types of matters. That decision rests with the District Attorney General requesting TBI’s involvement.

The TBI does not identify the officers involved in these types of incidents and instead refers questions of that nature to the respective department to answer as it sees fit.
