This morning at approximately 2 AM, Memphis Police officers were called to investigate a suspicious vehicle.
Upon arrival, they encountered two teenage boys who were believed to be involved in the incident.
A shootout ensued between the teens and the officers, resulting in the tragic death of one Memphis Police Officer.
Additionally, two other officers were injured and are currently hospitalized.
One of the teens, identified as 18-year-old Yaylen Loble, had been previously arrested for being found inside a stolen vehicle with an illegally modified firearm capable of being used as a machine gun.
Despite being released without bond in March, Loble was involved in this violent altercation with law enforcement officers.

In a public statement only moments ago, Interim Memphis Police Chief C.J. Davis identified the Memphis Police Officer as Joseph McKinney. According to Interim Chief Davis, Officer McKinney joined the department in 2020.
“At approximately 2 AM, officers responded to a suspicious vehicle call at Horn Lake Road and Charter Avenue. When officers approached the vehicle, they were fired upon by the occupants inside. Officers then returned fire. At that time, the suspect took off, and MPD officers pursued the vehicle for a short distance. Where the vehicle stopped in the area of the 400 block of Hewlett Road. The two suspects were apprehended at that time. The Suspect was taken into custody immediately. One scene was located nearby. A total of three officers were struck by gunfire. Tragically, one of our officers lost his life. That officer is Joseph McKinney. He was assigned to the station ship. The officer was brought here to Regional One, but thankfully, he has been upgraded to non-critical condition, and he’s doing well. The Officer was treated on the scene and is in stable condition.”
“One suspect was 18 years old, and the other suspect is 17 years old. Both suspects were transported to Regional One in critical condition. Both of them sustained gunfire as well. One suspect has been pronounced deceased. The 18-year-old suspect was arrested in March 2024 by MPD in a stolen vehicle with an illegally modified semi-automatic weapon with a Glock switch attached. The Glock switch converted the weapon to a fully automatic machine gun. He was also charged that time for a stolen vehicle and having a programming device commonly used to steal cars. The suspect was released at that time without bond.”
The 18-year-old suspect, Jaylen Loble, is dead.
The second suspect, a 17-year-old male, has been captured and is currently hospitalized.
The Left’s hidden truth is that the 18-year-old boy might still be alive if he had been in jail serving time for his previous crime. By not facing consequences for his actions, he may have felt invincible or untouchable.
The no-bail-for-criminals policies pushed by Democrats are risky, as they can impact public safety and discourage police recruitment.
Democrat support for law enforcement is lacking, despite the dangers officers face daily to protect communities.
The mainstream media may try to soften this narrative by portraying the shooters as victims rather than holding them accountable.

Please keep Officer McKinney’s family and the other hospitalized officers in your prayers.
ICYMI: Andrew McCabe Comes Cleant: Carter Page FISA Application Was a ‘Mistake’
Since 1972 the BATF has controlled the manufacture, importation and distribution of all firearms in the US. No way can a handgun be made to fire automatically. The BATF licenses and inspects all gun dealers. According to a friend of mine who has a gun store the BATF is on them like a wet diaper. They come in unannounced and shut down the business while they look for any reason to close the store down permanently.
Another senseless killing of a policeman by a career criminal. These widows should band together and sue the DA of these cities who let these POSs out then sue the DNC for their lax policies/ procedures! Until then criminals will continue to kill, rape,assault and any other crime!!!!!
A class action law suit would bring media attention and perhaps, the law suit wouldn’t languish in Demcrap judges dockets and might end both the leftis judge’s rule and gun violance by those who cannot get a gun legally.
The punk thug may have felt “invincible” or “untouchable”, but the cops proved he was not bullet proof. Thanks to the Memphis PD for taking the trash out.
It’s unfortunate that the other suspect survived. Once medically cleared, he will probably be released without bail, after all, all he did was shoot and injure/kill, multiple police officers. And the reason it is more significant when they shoot law enforcement is because if they will shoot them knowing they can shoot back, you don’t have a prayer.
More deaths and mayhem caused by minority members. Releasing felons on no bail basis to kill and rob again benefits no one. DA releasing this thug should be charged. Crimes should be reported with RACE included. The fairy tale that Blacks are oppressed is ridiculous. They are killing each other and whites at high rate. Mass Media refuses to report truth. No one actually believes primary news sources any more – except maybe total idiots.
I can’t imagine all the lives lost by Street thugs like those two who committed heinous crimes against the American people and a Communist Nazi Democrat DA and a Communist Nazi Democrat Judge releasing them claiming their the victims and white people are the cause of the crime.
The Communist Democrats agenda is to create racism across America just to get the black vote.
I had it with the Communist Democrats and their policies and I defy anything they enforce just like Dictatorship.!
In Texas, it would be Capitol Punishment (automatic death), I’m a Retired Texas, Police Officer and I have a sticker on my car that shows I support law Enforcement and another with a Police shield with a black stripe across the badge showing the lives lost to Street thugs like the two who shot at the MPD.
Because of the Communist Democrats policies I defy anything they say or do to pass Unconstitutional laws against the American Citizens. I carry everywhere I go because of Street thugs like the two who committed heinous crimes against the American people.
Officer Joseph McKinney may you find peace and comfort in the arms of our lord and Savior, God rest your soul my brother.
Reparations ……..Now!
One way tickets to Africa!
Losing 13% of the population will cut the US crime rate in half easily!
@ CharlieSeattle: Agreed. Deport the black riff raff to Africa and let them build their own Wakanda.
Scott Adams was right!
Remember when that (white) tranny shot up the school??? It was on the news 24/7.
But you get a nigglet like this killing a cop and there’s barely a whisper.
Shot these punks dead on the spot no jail they don’t learn they are taught to kill destroy steal from any and all and their parents need held just as responsible as they did those other people for their son killing, because they teach their kids to take instead of schooling, working, like most do and taxpayers should not have to support these murders rapist, pedophiles, they are unacceptable for society and taxpayers should not be taking care of these degenerates
Just one less career criminal
