Patrolman Timothy Warren was shot and killed after responding to a domestic dispute and shooting at a DoubleTree Hotel at approximately 7:00 pm.

A male subject had gone to the hotel in search of a woman. After locating her, he shot and killed a male who had accompanied her. Patrolman Warren was among the first officers on the scene and was searching for the suspect on an upper floor. He was in a stairwell when the suspect opened a door connecting to the floor and shot him in the head. The 20-year-old suspect was taken into custody after the shooting.

On January 13, 2014, the suspect pled guilty to two counts of first degree murder and was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.

Patrolman Warren had served with the Memphis Police Department for eight years. He is survived by his wife and two children.

Donations to the MPACF make it possible to support officers in need and programs that strengthen the bonds between officers and the communities they serve. Thank you to the MPA Charitable Foundation Board for unanimously voting to support this initiative and thank you to the C.O.P.S. unit for developing this amazing program. These young people don't just get bikes, but also training, mentorship, positive guidance, and a host of events and field trips this summer.

This fund is made possible by the monthly donations of officers, but if you'd like to make a one-time or monthly contribution and support both officers and worthy endeavors just click the link then click donate.

The MPA along with Memphis Firefighters Association were proud to host a fundraiser for Councilwoman Jerri Green this evening. She’s smart, tough and working hard for the citizens of Memphis!

Today, we remember and honor the brave souls who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, 80 years ago. Their courage and sacrifice on June 6, 1944, changed the course of history and ensured the freedoms we enjoy today. To all who have served and continue to serve, thank you for your unwavering dedication and bravery. We are forever grateful.

Officer Verdell Smith was struck and killed by a vehicle whose driver had been involved in a triple shooting approximately 30 minutes earlier.

The man, who had been seen talking to himself loudly, suddenly pulled out a handgun and shot two customers outside of a restaurant on North Main Street shortly before 10:00 pm. Several citizens then chased the man on foot a short distance to a sporting goods store parking lot, where the man shot an employee and fled in a car, as officers arrived on the scene.
Responding officers pursued the vehicle, which started driving the wrong way down B. B. King Boulevard, which had been closed to vehicle traffic for a street festival.

As the pursuit entered the area Officer Smith and other officers attempted to clear the street and sidewalks of pedestrians, but the vehicle crashed through a barrier and struck him.

The man was taken into custody after striking Officer Smith. He was charged three counts of attempted murder and one count of murder.

Officer Smith was a U.S Navy veteran and had served with the Memphis Police Department for 18 years. He was posthumously promoted to the rank of Sergeant. He is survived by his children, fiancee, and father.

Police Officer Scotty Triplett was killed in a motorcycle crash while he and other officers performed an es**rt along Hickory Hill Road at about 4:45 pm.

He was traveling northbound when an oncoming car disregarded his emergency equipment and turned left in front of him at the intersection with Swaying Pine Lane, causing a collision. Officer Triplett was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Officer Triplett had served with the Memphis Police Department for 27 years. He is survived by his wife and two children.

Lieutenant Clarence Cox was shot and killed while attempting to arrest a suspect who was wanted for escape and for the murder of a priest.

He had encountered the subject near the intersection of N Lauderdale Street and Exchange Avenue and attempted to take him into custody.

The suspect was able to gain control of Lieutenant Cox's service weapon and shoot him with it. The man was later arrested in Jackson, Tennessee. He was sentenced to death but later murdered in prison by other death row inmates.

Lieutenant Cox was a United States Navy veteran and had served with the Memphis Police Department for 22 years.
