A man charged with fatally shooting a Memphis police officer during a struggle on a residential street has completed a brief court appearance.

Twenty-nine-year-old Tremaine Wilbourn appeared via video link from jail Wednesday morning. He is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 33-year-old Officer Sean Bolton.
