Shelby County, TN—Today, The Shelby County District Attorney’s Office released video of the fatal officer-involved shooting involving Jaylin McKenzie and a Memphis Police Officer that took place in  Dec. 2022. The videos are posted on the Shelby County District Attorney’s website. Mr. McKenzie’s family has viewed the footage. 

The three redacted videos are from in-car camera of a police patrol car and body-worn cameras from two additional officers. Viewer discretion is advised.

“Any death is tragic; incidents like this are difficult for all involved,” said DA Mulroy. “Our office is committed to transparency in these cases, which means prompt release of video so the public can view it for themselves.”

Beyond the events shown in the video, the SCDAG’s Office cannot comment due to TBI’s ongoing investigation. Once the investigation by TBI is complete, our Justice Review Unit will review the findings and make a recommendation to the District Attorney.
