OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On October 6, 2021, at approximately 6:00 a.m., correctional officers with the Hardeman County Sheriff's Office were outside the Hardeman County Criminal Justice Complex when they were allegedly threatened by an armed individual. Three officers from the Bolivar Police Department responded, but the man had already fled. Shortly thereafter, the individual returned, exited his vehicle while still armed, and confronted the officers. The officers shot and killed 43-year-old Andra Davon Murphy.
Additional Information: The family of Andra Davon Murphy has retained attorney Ben Crump, asserting that Murphy was not the individual who initially threatened the correctional officers and is seeking the release of video footage to clarify the events leading to his death. There is no followup information at this time.
