Tyrin Johnson Shot by National Guard | Nashville News
Description
A 20-year-old Memphis man, Tyrin Johnson, was fatally shot early Sunday by two Tennessee National Guard soldiers during a high-stakes chase that began after police reported he’d fired shots. The family, led by his grandfather—a former sheriff’s deputy—demands full transparency, insisting on releasing video evidence before judgment. Tyrin, a dedicated future builder working on affordable housing and learning the family construction business, carried a firearm for protection as taught by his grandfather. This marks the sixth use-of-force investigation for Memphis’ Safe Task Force, with the National Guard cooperating as more details emerge. The family plans legal action to uncover the truth.
