On August 9, 2016, 35-year-old Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Degreaun Reshun Frazier was working undercover in Jackson during a controlled buy of cocaine and heroin. He was in a vehicle with an informant when the subject they met, Brenden Tyler Burns, entered the back seat. What began as a narcotics transaction escalated into an attempted robbery when Burns produced a handgun and fired one shot as Frazier tried to exit the car. Frazier was taken to Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, where he died of his wounds, the first line-of-duty death in the history of the TBI.

Burns fled on foot but was captured shortly after at a residence about half a mile away. He was indicted by a Madison County Grand Jury on July 3, 2017, on charges including First-Degree Murder and Murder in the Perpetration of Attempted Especially Aggravated Robbery. On October 7, 2019, Burns pleaded guilty to felony murder and aggravated robbery and received a life sentence without parole. The TBI later named its new Jackson crime lab and regional headquarters the Special Agent DeGreun Reshun Frazier Crime Lab and Regional Headquarters in his honor.

Does anyone have information about Frazier’s movements that afternoon or the Brianfield Cove area around August 9, 2016?
