Mayor to Get Consultant to Review Police Force
From [HERE] and [MORE] Mayor A C Wharton has said he wants a complete review of the incident. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation will complete an independent review. Wharton critizized the department calling it unacceptable (see tv video). Memphis Police have not released the name of an off-duty Memphis Police officer involved in a shooting on Monday night.
Police say they responded to the scene around 8 Monday night and found a teen shot. He was taken to the Regional Medical Center where he died. Family of the teen said he is 15-year-old Justin Thompson. Apparently he was chased and shot to death by a Memphis Police officer. Police have refused to provide details of the shooting to the public. A neighbor said that before the boy collapsed in her yard he stopped running and asked her to call an ambulance for help because he had been shot.
His mother, Shirley, said Justin left to walk to the store with his two brothers, however his brothers returned and he did not. She said minutes later, she could see police lights outside of her home.
