Deputy Sheriff George Monroe Selby, 32, was killed in the line of duty during a narcotics unit operation on Chattering Lane in Memphis late on December 4, 2002. Deputies were serving a search warrant when shots were fired from inside the residence. A single bullet struck Selby in the shoulder at a location not covered by his ballistic vest, causing fatal internal injuries. He was taken to the Regional Medical Center and later died of those wounds.

Two people inside the house were taken into custody after the shooting; one was wounded during the exchange of gunfire. The man later identified as the shooter was prosecuted, convicted of murder, and sentenced to life plus 100 years; an appeal of that sentence was denied. Does anyone have memories of Deputy Selby or information about the case that hasn’t been shared publicly?
