Shelby County DA's Office Releases Video in May 13 Officer-Involved Shooting

Shelby County, TN – Given the public interest and in the interest of transparency, the Shelby County District Attorney's Office is releasing the relevant portions of the available video related to the May 13, 2026, officer-involved shooting involving law enforcement officers serving an arrest warrant. The released video reflects the available footage collected during the investigation. No body-worn camera footage from the agents involved in the operation is available.

Prior to the public release, the District Attorney's Office met privately with Mr. Pigram's family to show them the video. Following that meeting, the Office also met with the family's legal counsel to notify them that the video would be released publicly.

Earlier this week, the District Attorney's Office announced that, following its review of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's investigation, no criminal charges would be filed in connection with the shooting. After reviewing the evidence and applying Tennessee law governing the use of force by law enforcement officers, the Office concluded that the use of deadly force was legally justified and that the evidence did not support a reasonable likelihood of conviction.

The video is being released alongside the Office's declination letter, which explains the legal analysis supporting that decision.

The video is available here.
