## Resource

Two Tennessee National Guard members fatally shot 20-year-old Tyrin Johnson during a predawn pursuit in Memphis, sparking renewed scrutiny over the federal task force’s role in the city’s ongoing violence crisis. The guardsmen, part of the Trump-backed Memphis Safe Task Force, responded to gunfire reports and claimed Johnson turned toward them with a weapon. Johnson died despite medical aid; the guardsmen were unharmed. This marks at least the fourth officer-involved shooting tied to the task force since its October deployment, fueling local controversy over federal presence amid Memphis’s persistent crime challenges.
