MEMPHIS, Tenn. —
While the Memphis Police Department has said it has upped its patrols in areas known for speeding, the family of Wallace Morris and Travis Parham Jr. said it's not enough.
Morris and Parham Jr. were killed Friday night by an off-duty MPD officer allegedly drag racing on Walnut Grove. Both were hit head-on when the officer crashed into them splitting their car in half. Travis Parham Sr., Parham Jr.'s father and Morris's cousin, said the drag racing and speeding happening across the city needs to stop.
