Two National Guard members opened fire during a Memphis pursuit, killing Tyrin Johnson, 20. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is examining the shooting as officials call for transparency while debates over federal task force deployments continue.
Federal agents with the Memphis Safe Task Force shot and killed a man during a hotel-room arrest in Memphis. The incident followed a separate fatal shooting last weekend involving the same task force. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is leading the inquiry and will review both cases for potential charges.
Autopsy results show Tyrin Johnson was shot in the back, conflicting with police and National Guard accounts that he pointed a weapon. Family calls for accountability as investigations continue.
