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.

Not trying to be a downer but we cannot afford to lose focus. Every life lost is not just a statistic but a tragedy with ripple effects impacting countless lives. 158 homicides as of today.

“A violent and deadly 24 hours in Memphis saw 13 people shot in nine separate incidents across the city, from Westhaven to Whitehaven, Midtown to Cordova, East Memphis to Oakville. Three victims died from their injuries.”

Bullets fired. Lives taken. Multiple families are grieving in Memphis on National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
