MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has confirmed an off-duty officer who was observing an exchange of a child between a woman and her ex-husband is the woman's fiance.

The shooting happened around 10 p.m. Sunday at a gas station in the 1700 block of Getwell Road just north of I-240.

According to the TBI, the unidentified officer was there to "witness a child visitation exchange at that location between a woman and her ex-husband, Luis Soto."

Family and friends identify the man as 29-year-old Luis Soto Rodriguez.

At some point, the off-duty officer shot and killed the man.

WREG noticed the windows were shot at on the driver's side of one vehicle and a bullet hit the tailgate of another vehicle.

It isn’t clear if the officer and the victim were driving those vehicles.

The TBI took the officer's gun as well as a gun found near Soto's body.

Investigators will turn their information over District Attorney Amy Weirich.

The last fatal shooting involving an MPD officer took place March 23 when officers said 30-year-old Alexio Allen pointed a shotgun at police, and they fired.

There was also an incident in January where officers shot and killed Jonathan Bratcher when they say he pointed a gun at them after a hit and run.
