MEMPHIS, Tenn.—A manhunt was underway Monday for a man who police say fatally shot a Memphis officer after he interrupted a drug deal involving a small amount of marijuana that would have resulted in just a misdemeanor citation and a fine.
“He’s a coward,” Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong said of the suspect, 29-year-old Tremaine Wilbourn. “You gunned down, you murdered a police officer, for less than 2 grams of marijuana. You literally destroyed a family.”
