Autopsy shows Tennessee National Guard fatally shot armed man in back
Memphis police said officers responded to a call about shots fired near Beale Street and saw a person armed with a gun leaving.
Evaniel Johnson is a former correctional officer with the Davidson County Sheriff's Office in Nashville.
Attorney Andre Wharton, representing Johnson's family, said the law enforcement narrative does not match the autopsy findings of a single bullet wound in the back.
