MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A convicted felon charged in the fatal shooting of an off-duty Memphis police officer is set to make his first court appearance in the case.
Court records show 36-year-old Lorenzo Clark is scheduled to appear before a judge by video arraignment Tuesday in Tennessee’s Shelby County. Clark is charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm in the death of 31-year-old officer Terence Olridge.
Police say Olridge was heading to work when he and a neighbor got into an argument Sunday in the Memphis suburb of Cordova. Police say the altercation escalated into a shootout and Olridge was shot multiple times. He died at a hospital.
Olridge is one of four Memphis officers fatally shot in just over four years and the second shot to death in months.
