One Dead, Bartlett Officer Injured During Warrant Operation in Frayser, Tennessee

A joint warrant operation involving the Memphis Police Department, Bartlett Police Department, and the DEA took place early Thursday morning on Dellwood Avenue in the Frayser neighborhood. During the operation, shots were fired, resulting in the death of one person and injuries to a Bartlett police officer, who suffered lacerations and was hospitalized in non-critical condition. Memphis Police secured the perimeter and confirmed the incident occurred just before 6:15 a.m., with no further details released about the warrant itself. The nearby Frayser-Corning Elementary School had some streets temporarily blocked for safety, but there was no immediate threat to students or staff, and classes continued as scheduled. Later in the morning, a separate incident occurred when a man was seriously injured after being struck by a car on N. Watkins Street in Frayser, with the driver remaining at the scene. Police investigations into both incidents are ongoing.
