Ellie Claire Young of Henning, Tennessee has sadly passed away. She died after being shot during a breast cancer walk at Shelby Farms Park on Saturday 19th October 2024. The suspect have been taken into custody. The news of her death was confirmed through a post that reads “It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the tragic loss of Ellie Claire Young, a 22-year-old resident of Henning, Tennessee. Ms. Young’s life was cut short on October 19, 2024, during a Breast Cancer Survivors’ walk at Shelby Farms Park.”

A suspect is now in custody after a dramatic police chase that unfolded across multiple counties, culminating in Dyer County. The pursuit began earlier today following a reported murder at Shelby Farms, prompting law enforcement agencies in Shelby County to engage the suspect.

After the initial incident, the suspect fled the scene, leading authorities on a high-speed pursuit that traversed Tipton County and Lauderdale County. Law enforcement agencies worked in coordination to track the vehicle, which posed a significant danger as it traveled recklessly, even going the wrong way on busy roads.

The situation escalated when the suspect approached a checkpoint set up by Dyer County deputies. Sergeant Lynn Waller, who was stationed at the county line, deployed spike strips in an attempt to stop the vehicle. However, the suspect attempted to use his vehicle as a weapon, accelerating toward Sergeant Waller in a threatening manner.

Dyer County Deputy Newman took decisive action, executing a precision PIT (Pursuit Intervention Technique) maneuver just inside Dyer County on Highway 51. This maneuver successfully brought the chase to an end, allowing officers to apprehend the suspect without further incident.

The suspect was taken into custody and transported to a local emergency room for evaluation by Medical Center EMS. During a subsequent search of the vehicle, authorities recovered a loaded handgun, which has been taken as evidence in the ongoing investigation.

Ellie Claire Young’s obituary will be released by the family
