At Least 24 Memphis Police Officers Hurt In Protests After Deadly Shooting

June 13, 20197:54 AM ET

Updated at 12:50 p.m. ET

At least 24 Memphis Police Department officers were injured during a large protest Wednesday night, Mayor Jim Strickland says. The violence erupted after officers of the U.S. Marshals Service shot and killed Brandon Webber, 20.

The shooting occurred around 7 p.m. local time, as officers from the U.S. Marshals Service as part of the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force tried to take a man into custody. When the officers approached the man, law enforcement officials said, he was getting into his car in the Frayser community in northern Memphis, Tenn.

That man was Webber, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, which is investigating the case. The U.S. Marshals Service says he was wanted on "multiple felony warrants."

The natives are restless. 
Hot time. Summer in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head.

Are there still places for decent people to live in Memphis? 

Last time I was through there a few years ago it looked like a hell hole.
