It’s sad to see this. We were in the Memphis Police Academy at the same time. I spoke with him a few times and he was a super genuine guy the few times we spoke. I hate this happened to him and was just as shocked to see his picture on the new. Especially this early after his graduation date. I’ll be praying for him and his family.
