MEMPHIS, Tenn.— The man arrested after a carjacking and police shooting that ended in another suspect’s death Monday was a part-time City of Memphis employee, officials said.
Tadarius Nichols, 25, is in the Shelby County Jail log, charged with motor vehicle theft and evading arrest in the incident that ended with a fatal shooting by police near a school in Frayser.
“We can confirm that at the time of the incident he was a part-time employee in our Parks division,” a city spokesperson said Tuesday in an email. They had no further comment.
A court affidavit states that Nichols was the driver of the stolen Dodge Charger that stopped near Cornerstone Academy on Overton Crossing on Monday afternoon. Nichols denied to police that he was involved in the earlier carjacking.
Police say it started in Raleigh just after midnight Monday morning when a white Dodge Charger was taken in a carjacking from the 4100 block of Ann Arbor Lane.
At 2 p.m. officers spotted the carjacked vehicle near Watkins Street and Dellwood, with two males inside. They say they attempted a traffic stop, but the driver refused to stop.
The Charger stopped at Frayser Boulevard and Adair Drive, where the suspects got out and ran east on Frayser Boulevard.
As officers pursued them on foot, they say one of the suspects fired shots at officers. Officers returned fire, striking the suspect. The man was pronounced dead on the scene, and a weapon was found nearby.

Off-duty officer in Southern California shoots man involved in road-rage incident
Josh DuBose
A man in Riverside County was rushed to the hospital in critical condition after reportedly being shot multiple times by an off-duty police officer who intervened during what authorities are calling a road-rage incident Monday.Officers with the Murrieta Police Department responded to reports of the shooting in a parking lot at 39540 Murrieta Hot Springs Road at around 9:15 a.m., the department said in a post to social media.
When police arrived at the location, they found an adult male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, along with an off-duty police officer from the city of Hemet and several witnesses of the shooting.
Authorities rendered life-saving measures on the gunshot victim, who was rushed by paramedics to the hospital where he was listed in critical condition.
“The initial investigation revealed that the off-duty police officer was involved in the shooting of the male,” Murrieta PD said. “All gunshots have been accounted for, and no other people were injured by the gunfire.”
Police added that preliminary information suggests a road-rage incident between two individuals occurred and was witnessed by the off-duty officer, who has not yet been identified.
Details are limited and it’s unclear how the road-rage incident was unfolding, but police said the off-duty officer “subsequently intervened” and fired on the adult male.

If you take out the killings, Washington actually has a very very low crime rate.

Road Ragers. ’bout need an MRAP to go anywhere these days. *sigh* Another reason why I don’t mind escort duty for The Ladies.
Marion, it’s politicians like you that created the environment of killings and that are killing this Country.
Gun Pr0n editor was gloating over that Banshee like he was fm2176. I do happen to know where there is a quantity of 7.62X39. hmmmm
“ I do happen to know where there is a quantity of 7.62X39. “
But not for sale? Hmmmmm?
Not in this political climate.
You are correct, Good Sir. Cartridges with no $ will get you thru hard times better than $ with no cartridges will.
Side bar, Tox. Just received my very FIRST (ht2 Mr. Stone) copy of the Utah Life Magazine. It’s considerably skinnier than the Nebraska Life that I’ve been getting for years. I understand they’ve had problems getting editors. Hope to have a chance to peruse the UT before too long. Got a friend from back yonder that was a photographer from SLC. Hadn’t seen Al since about ’99/’01. Need to track the boy down. Good guy and a hell of a camera operator.
Parks and Cemetery departments in cities often employ felons for the grounds maintenance. They will work for a lot less to get good benefits. They start off part time and work their way up to full time.
We’ve had a MK47 hanging on the wall for a year now, with little interest shown by customers. The sad thing is the magazine’s a bit chewed up from our highly knowledgeable gun counter Outfitters who play with it and think the mag inserts like an AR. I’ve had to slam the mag loose a few times due to it being wedged in the mag well incorrectly.
I guess the road ragers in Murrietta just HAD to FAFO, didn’t they?
