The gunman who allegedly killed a Tennessee surgeon in an examination room yesterday was identified Wednesday morning as Larry Pickens, by the Collierville Police Department. 

Pickens, 29, of Memphis, has been charged with first degree murder and aggravated assault in the targeted attack on Dr. Benjamin Mauck at the Campbell Clinic Orthopedics in Collierville, Major David Townsend wrote in a Nextdoor update.

The suspect’s arraignment is set for Thursday.

Police previously shared that Muack’s attacker likely lay in wait for him for “several hours” before firing a handgun and running out of the clinic, where he was apprehended without incident five minutes later.

Mauck specialized in elbow, hand and wrist surgery, according to his clinic biography.

He boasted a 4.9 rating with patients, and was named on Memphis Magazine’s 2023 Top Doctor List just last week.

“Earlier today, we experienced a single shooter event inside our Collierville clinic. We are shocked and heartbroken to confirm the incident resulted in the tragic loss of one of our highly respected and beloved physicians, Dr. Ben Mauck,” Campbell Clinic said in a statement Tuesday.

“We appreciate our local law enforcement officers who responded within minutes. We will continue to work closely with authorities as this remains an active investigation.”

Mauck is survived by his wife, Rhiannon Mauck, and two children.
