MEMPHIS — A Memphis police officer involved in a car crash that killed two people last August has been fired.
On Monday, February 18, 2013, Officer Alex Beard’s administrative hearing was held concerning this crash.
Officer Beard was departmentally charged with Compliance with Regulations to wit: Response to Call, Personal Conduct, and Damage to Motor Vehicle.
All charges were sustained and Beard was subsequently terminated.
The accident happened at a three-way intersection where Crump Blvd. meets Georgia ave. and Walnut street.
Police say the officer involved was on his way to a call, but eyewitnesses say there were no blue lights or siren on.
Thirteen year-old Mackala Epps and her mother, 54-year-old Delores Epps were both killed.
A 47-year-old male has recovered from his injuries.
Beard has been employed by the Memphis Police Department since October 2010.
He was assigned to Union Station and was routinely relieved of duty pending the outcome of this investigation.
