On Oct. 19, at 12:15 p.m. deputies responded to reports of a shooting in the parking lot of Shelby Farms Visitor’s Center in Memphis. PEOPLE reports that Elie Claire Young, a young woman at the American Cancer Society’s “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” walk. Authorities eventually found Young lying near her Jeep Wrangler with multiple gunshot wounds.

According to USA Today, officers took Jackson Hopper into custody after the chase. Reports say his car flipped over onto the center barrier of a roadway in Dyer County.

A review of body camera and in-car camera footage, as well as witness statements, are being reviewed and released to the Attorney General’s Office. We will review all pertinent material before drawing any conclusions and we ask that everyone do the same,” Beasley said in a statement on Facebook.
