Tennessee police officials have identified a suspect in the fatal shooting of a Memphis police officer and they are currently searching for the man.

Police Director Toney Armstrong says twenty-nine year old Tremaine Wilbourn was a passenger in a car that was being investigated by Officer Sean Bolton on Saturday night.

Armstrong says Bolton came across a 2002 Mercedes parked illegally in a neighborhood in southeast Memphis.

He says Bolton shined his squad car’s spotlight into the car and Wilbourn got out of the car and scuffled with Bolton before shooting him.
