From [HERE] and [HERE] and [HERE] The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has released the identity of a Memphis Police officer who reportedly shot and killed 15 year old Justin Thompson on Monday night. The TBI says 28-year-old Terrance Shaw is on paid leave while it investigates the shooting
Police Director Toney Armstrong asked the TBI to take over the investigation since an officer was involved, and all they’ve released is one statement saying Officer Terrance Shaw was at the scene when Thompson was shot. The Mayor`s office says Shaw was the apparent victim of a robbery and the TBI is looking over evidence to see if the two knew each other or had ever talked before. Other than that we know nothing about the crime.
Apparently Thompson was chased and shot to death by Officer Shaw. 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. Witnesses said they saw Justin get into a black car minutes before they heard the gunshots. They said Justin was running through their yards telling them to call an ambulance.
