The Family of LaJuanese Wilson Trannon
Memphis, TN
The son of LaJuanese Wilson Trannon, LeMichael Wilson, went before the Memphis City Council asking for attention to be brought to this incident surrounding his mother’s death, and reforms put in place from preventing another family from being traumatized after a responding individual took a picture of her unclothed body with her phone. While the City Council was deeply sympathetic, no answers have been forthcoming from the Mayor or the Memphis Police Department. He has been denied access to body cam footage, has not been provided with the promised report, and has been consistently refused any sort of explanation or resolution.
