Early Thursday morning, Shelby County Commissioner Tami Sawyer identified the man shot as Brandon Webber.
Don’t judge Frayser without asking a community how it feels to mourn their youth over and over again. What do people do with their pain and trauma when it gets to be too much, when a city has ignored them, when their loss is too great and they can no longer yell at the sky?

Hours later, the TBI added an updated news release to its website that also identified him as Webber.
He was 20 years old.
The TBI said he had felony warrants out for his arrest.
Social media reported he attended the University of Memphis and graduated from Central High School.
Sawyer said that Webber was shot as many as 20 times before he died.
Memorials on social media have started to appear.
Angel Logan, who said she is Webber's cousin, said he was a father.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
