MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A Memphis firefighter has been charged in the shooting death of his ex-girlfriend in the parking lot of the hospital where she worked as a nurse.

Memphis Police officer Karen Rudolph says 34-year-old Frank Graham III was arrested and charged on Sunday with first degree murder and employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony.

Rudolph says Graham approached 35-year-old Taffi Crawford in the rear parking lot of Delta Medical Center on Friday morning, then shot her. Rudolph says Graham and Crawford appear to have been fighting in the time leading up to the shooting.

Graham was being held in the Shelby County jail. Jail records did not list an attorney.
