MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Police Department (MPD) on Tuesday released body camera footage showing the moment a suspect shot a police officer during a traffic stop in February. The shooting happened on the night of Feb. 26. Police had reported that Ofc. Oscar Torres-Molina pulled over a white car near Aloha Avenue and South Perkins in the Parkway Village neighborhood. The newly released footage shows the interaction between the officer and the suspect, later identified as 40-year-old Danell Maxwell. In the video, Maxwell tells the officer that he has a gun. As both of them walked to the officer's squad car, the officer asked Maxwell if the VIN number on one of his car doors "always been scratched off like that." Moments later, the video shows Maxwell pulling out a gun and shooting Torres-Molina. The footage continues, showing Maxwell looking at the officer on the ground. MPD had previously reported that Torres-Molina was shot in the face. He was hospitalized for several days and released. Last week, police said the officer was still recovering. Maxwell was arrested Thursday at an apartment complex in Cordova. He was taken into custody with Tokeytha Owens, accused of hiding Maxwell inside her apartment. ]]> Tue 12 May 2026 19:04:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1615485/suspect-shppots-memphis-officer-during-traffic-stop/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1615390/employee-emptied-the-cash-register-before-walking-out-the-job/

National Guard tackled content creator Chrishaun Akins, known as South Memphis HypeMan, on Beale Street in Memphis over the weekend. HypeMan was swinging his belt near a group of women. He says he thinks the Guard thought he was part of a nearby fight. He claims he may have injured his shoulder and forearm and is planning to get an X-ray: “I’m in pain, I’m feeling bad... I’m sad, my emotions are built up bad. They didn’t understand that at all; they just looked at me like I was nobody.” Or maybe they thought he was attacking the women? The National Guard was reportedly on Beale Street, patrolling the entertainment districts, as part of the Memphis Safe Task Force, launched in late 2025 with the goal of driving down violent crime in busy public areas. Officials report a significant decline in crime in Memphis, citing a 25-year low and a 43% to 44% drop in overall crime during the fourth quarter of 2025, largely attributed to the Memphis Safe Task Force. Just the presence of uniformed law enforcement and/or troops can help reduce violent crime. That’s certainly been proven true in Memphis. ]]> Tue 14 Apr 2026 23:09:19 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614136/content-creator-south-memphis-hypeman-tackled-by-national-guards/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1611994/woman-shot-in-leg-after-juvenile-drops-gun-inside-memphis-gas-station/
