Tennessee Law Enforcement Agent Killed<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tennessee Law Enforcement Agent Killed<\/strong>:MEMPHIS \u2014 An agent with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation was shot to death Tuesday afternoon during an incident in Jackson, authorities say.<\/span><\/p>\n

The agent was identified as De’Greaun “Dee” Frazier, who was been with the TBI only a matter of months.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Mark Gwyn, director of the TBI, Frazier was in a car with an informant and another man conducting an undercover drug purchase. The other man in the car, in a robbery attempt, shot the TBI agent, Gwyn said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The suspect was captured a short distance from the scene.<\/span>
\nFrazier, 35 was pronounced dead at Jackson-Madison County Hospital.<\/span>
\nCandice Washington, 34, lives in a duplex where shooting occurred.<\/span>

\u201cI was in my kitchen cooking and I heard about four shots \u2014 I could hear them hitting the glass,” Washington told the Jackson Sun. “I laid on the ground and then when I got up I looked out the window and I saw a black Navigator parked directly in front of my house.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI saw a black male inside of the Navigator and it looked like he had been shot, his eyes were rolled back, his head was limp,” she said. “And I saw another black male standing outside of the Navigator in the jarred door with his hands over the man’s, I guess, his wound.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my neighbors went and called the police, the other went and got a towel to put on his neck,\u201d Washington said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frazier is a former Millington police officer, who left the department earlier this year to join the TBI.<\/span>
\nMillington Public Safety Director Gary Graves said Tuesday evening that Frazier had been assigned to several divisions, including investigations and as a dog handler. He also served with the local Drug Enforcement Administration Task Force.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is very, very rough,” Graves said. “With all of the police shootings that have gone on, it affects the officers. But this one was close to home.”<\/span><\/p>\n
