Atlanta man identified as person killed after being shot by Memphis police

One person is dead after being shot by a Memphis Police Department officer late Friday, according to MPD. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is investigating the shooting.

TBI identified the slain man as 20-year-old Jaylin Keshawn McKenzie of Atlanta, Georgia.

In a statement released early Saturday morning, MPD said officers on patrol noticed what they described as a suspicious vehicle near the intersection of American Way and Goodlett Road. Officers tried to pull the vehicle over, but the vehicle then sped off, lost control and drove into a park.

MPD said four men exited the vehicle and ran away. Police said all four were armed.

Officers chased one of the men on foot to the 4700 block of Cochese Road. MPD said the man then turned around and shot at officers, one of whom returned fire and shot the suspect.

Additional officers arrived at the scene and provided medical aid, but McKenzie died at the scene.

The other three men have not been arrested, MPD said. None of the police officers at the scene was injured.

The shooting was the third involving a Memphis police officer in December.
