Details On Tragic Death Of Tennessee Medical Student

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.

Witnesses claim that Ellie parked her Jeep when a white Honda CR-V with a temporary Kentucky plate pulled up behind her. Police allege that the driver, Jackson Hopper from Tiptonville, fired two shots into the back of her Jeep, per PEOPLE. As Ellie exited her vehicle, Hopper shot her again while she lay on the ground. License plate cameras at the park entrance captured Ellie’s Jeep entering at 12:11 p.m., with Hopper’s SUV closely behind.

Detectives found five 9mm shell casings and three live rounds at the scene. The incident sparked an 80-mile high-speed chase, and authorities allege that it ended with Hopper crashing his car. 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. Family members reportedly told authorities that Ellie recently broke up with Jackson.

Sheriff Shannon Beasley of Tipton County, whose officers participated in Jackson Hopper’s arrest, opened an internal investigation to review the incident, per CBS News.

“We are working alongside other agencies and officials as we conduct an internal investigation into this matter. 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.
