A suspected gunman has been named and is still
on the loose following the fatal shooting of a Memphis police officer,
authorities said Sunday evening.
The slain officer, 33-year-old Sean Bolton, was
shot multiple times during a traffic stop in southeast Memphis on
Saturday evening, officials said. Police have said that a civilian used
an officer's radio to report the shooting.
The driver of the vehicle later turned himself
in to the police and was then released without charge. The passenger of
the vehicle, who is believed to be the shooter, has been identified as
29-year-old Tremaine Wilbourn, police said.

rushed to the hospital in critical condition, and later died from his
wounds, according to police. The Associated Press reported he was a U.S.
Marine Corps veteran who had served a tour of duty in Iraq.
Bolton was wearing a bullet-proof vest but not a body camera, Memphis Police spokeswoman Karen Rudolph told NBC News on Sunday.
