Story summary

On July 5, 2026, Tyrin Johnson, a 20-year-old man in Memphis, was fatally shot by a member of the Tennessee National Guard. Video released on November 3, 2026, by county prosecutors shows guard members pointing their guns at Johnson as he lay dying from a single gunshot wound to his back. The footage contradicts initial reports that Johnson had been facing the guards with a gun when they fired; an autopsy report confirmed he was shot in the back. Guard members were part of a federal task force created by former President Trump in response to unrest in Democrat-led cities. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is still investigating this incident, which has raised concerns about the use of force by federal and state security forces.
