The Shelby County District Attorney’s Office has released footage of a fatal encounter between 20-year-old Jaylin McKenzie and Memphis police in December 2022. Three videos, from a combination of dashboard and body-worn cameras, show the events immediately before McKenzie was shot, the Commercial Appeal reports. The footage shows a car chase giving way to a foot chase, during which McKenzie fired a weapon and was shot and killed. Less clear, the paper reports, is whether McKenzie was the first person to fire.
