MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Police are investigating a shooting that took place outside of a home in Frayser overnight.

The incident happened in the 2700 block of Crackelrose Drive. When officers arrived, they found a man outside with a gunshot wound to the knee.

Reports state that the victim and a woman, the mother of his children, had got into a verbal argument over infidelity.

The woman claimed she put his belongings outside for him to pick them up.

When the man arrived, he began talking to the front door camera. He then broke it and used it to smash open a window at the back of the house, police say.

The woman allegedly grabbed a gasoline container and threw it at the man. After he rinsed his eyes with the outside water hose, he entered the home and reportedly began assaulting her.

MPD says the woman was able to get out of the home, but the man followed; she then fired one shot, hitting him in the leg.

A neighbor came out of the home, and the woman urged them to call the police.

The man remains in non-critical condition. No charges have been filed.

Homeowner shoots man during home invasion in Roberta Grove

On February 20th, 2024 at approximately 5:15am the Houma Police Department responded to a shooting in the 300 block of Roberta Grove Blvd.

Upon arrival, officers contacted the homeowner and he advised that he had shot an intruder in his home.

The victim advised that he heard a noise coming from the first floor of his home and he went to investigate. As the victim was going down the stairs, he was confronted by the intruder on the first floor. The victim then discharged his firearm and the suspect fled from the home.

After further investigation, it was determined that the suspect had been injured. The responding officers then canvassed the neighborhood for evidence to locate the suspect. The suspect was identified as Dex Hebert, 34 years old, and officers then started searching the area for him. A location was obtained for Hebert in the 1200 block of Gibb Street and officers went to that location to apprehend him. As officers were attempting to make contact with Hebert, a female identified as Tye Corbitt, 26 years old, exited the home armed with a handgun. Corbitt was quickly taken into custody without incident, and she advised that Hebert was in the home lying on the sofa suffering from a gunshot to the head. A team of officers entered the home but initially were unable to locate the suspect. Several announcements were made warning the suspect that a K9 would be released with no response. K9 Mario was then released into the home where he was able to locate the suspect hiding under a mattress and allow for officers to take him into custody without incident.

Hebert was found to have been shot in the forehead and was transported to a local medical facility for his injuries. Upon arrival at the hospital, it was determined that all his injuries were superficial and was released after treatment.

Man may have been breaking into home when 14-year-old shot him to death

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — A man who was knocking on doors in east Harris County, possibly trying to break into homes, was shot and killed by a 14-year-old boy on Thursday morning, according to investigators.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call for service at a home in the 14400 block of Brownsville Street just before 7 a.m. At the scene, they found a man who had been shot and killed.

According to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the man approached the home and was messing with the front door. Gonzalez said it’s unclear if he actually unlocked and opened the door or if he was just turning the door knob back and forth, trying to get inside.

“A 14-year-old boy who was home alone inside the residence became alarmed, grabbed a pistol, and walked to the doorway,” Gonzalez said. “He saw a man he didn’t recognize and reportedly fired five or six shots from inside the home, striking the man.”

This all unfolded as neighbor Araceli Herrera first noticed a man acting weird outside her property.

“There was this guy in the ditch, and then he got out of the ditch, and he walked around the ditch, and he’s like, super weird behavior,” she said. “With this super weird behavior and a man I never saw, I figured I need to call my neighbor and let her know there is a man going to your property.”

Herrera’s security cameras captured the man, wearing a heavy coat, backpack, and gloves, roaming around the property. As Herrera called her neighbor, he walked next door. Gonzalez said the teen was home alone because a woman had just left the house to drop off other kids, and the father was possibly at work.

“Right when I looked up, that’s when I (saw) the kid open up the door and shoots him for the first time. At this point, the guy falls, and he shoots him three more times,” Herrera recalled of the moment she saw the gunfire.

About three other neighbors made calls about someone who met the man’s description trying to break in and pulling on door knobs around 6:15 a.m. and 6:20 a.m., HCSO said. Some neighbors also said the man was asking for money.

“If we go with the possibility that the male was trying to break into the home, then it’s possible that he may have spotted people leaving the home and was trying to make entry into the home,” Gonzalez said.

Investigators also said the man was familiar with the homeless outreach team in the area. They said they have had contact with him in the past.

The teenage boy and his family are cooperating with investigators, HCSO said.

“They have a right to protect their home. They have a right to feel safe in their home,” Gonzalez said. “Ironically, there is a sign on the gate that basically says that, something to the effect that, ‘Intruders will be met with force.’ So, I think it’s very clear on the front gate.”

The investigation into what exactly happened is ongoing.

Man sleeping in truck shot and killed intruder who allegedly tried to rob him

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — A man shot and killed an alleged intruder who tried to rob him as he slept in his truck at an apartment complex in north Harris County, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said Tuesday morning.

Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the scene in the 300 block of Parramatta Lane near Imperial Valley Drive at about 3:12 a.m. after a man called saying he had shot someone, police said.

The suspected shooter was sleeping in the back seat of his four-door pickup truck when another man, believed to be armed, entered the truck and tried to rob him, Gonzalez said.

“The decedent was apparently burglarizing a number of vehicles in the parking lot – climbed into the reportee’s pickup truck. The reportee was armed with an AR-15 rifle,” HCSO Sgt. Ben Beall said.

The burglary suspect was shot several times and died on the scene.

“He was sleeping in the back seat of the truck, and the windows are heavily tinted, so he did not realize that the truck was occupied until he was actually sitting in the truck,” Beall continued.

The sheriff’s office says the burglary suspect was in his 20s, had a Glock pistol in his pocket, and a large screwdriver they believe he used to break into three or four other cars before breaking into the pickup truck.

ABC13 is told the man who was sleeping in his truck and fired the shots is cooperating with the investigation, and this case will be referred to a grand jury

Drone strike in Baghdad kills high-ranking militia commander

BAGHDAD — A U.S. drone strike blew up a car in the Iraqi capital Wednesday night, killing a high-ranking commander of the powerful Kataib Hezbollah militia who is responsible for “directly planning and participating in attacks” on American troops in the region, the U.S. military said.

The strike came on a main thoroughfare in the Mashtal neighborhood in eastern Baghdad, attracting a crowd as emergency teams picked through the wreckage. It came amid roiling tensions in the region, and is likely to further anger Iraqi government leaders, who U.S. officials said were not notified before the strike.

Security forces closed off the heavily guarded Green Zone, where a number of diplomatic compounds are located, amid calls for protesters to storm the U.S. Embassy.

There were conflicting reports on the number killed, with U.S. officials saying the initial assessment was one, and saying there were no civilians hurt or killed. But two officials with Iran-backed militias in Iraq said that three died, including Wissam Muhammad Sabir Al-Saadi, known as Abu Baqir Al-Saadi, the commander in charge of Kataib Hezbollah’s operations in Syria. Kataib Hezbollah announced Abu Baqir’s death “following the bombing of the American occupation forces” in a statement.

Those officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak to journalists.

In a statement, U.S. Central Command said “there are no indications of collateral damage or civilian casualties at this time.” It added that the U.S. “will not hesitate to hold responsible all those who threaten our forces’ safety.”

The strike came days after the U.S. military launched an air assault on dozens of sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian-backed militias and the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard in retaliation for a drone strike that killed three U.S. troops in Jordan in late January.

The U.S. has blamed the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a broad coalition of Iran-backed militias, for the attack in Jordan, and officials have said they suspect Kataib Hezbollah in particular of leading it.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has regularly claimed strikes on bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria against the backdrop of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, saying that they are in retaliation for Washington’s support of Israel in its war in Gaza that has killed 27,707 Palestinians, according to the Health Ministry in the Hamas-run territory.

Kataib Hezbollah had said in a statement that it was suspending attacks on American troops to avoid “embarrassing the Iraqi government” after the strike in Jordan, but others have vowed to continue fighting.

On Sunday, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed a drone attack on a base housing U.S. troops in eastern Syria killed six fighters from the Syrian Democratic Forces, a Kurdish-led group allied with the United States.

The latest surge in the regional conflict came shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday rejected terms proposed by Hamas for a hostage-release agreement that would lead to a permanent cease-fire, vowing to continue the war until “absolute victory.”

Also on Wednesday, the media office of the Houthi rebels in Yemen reported two airstrikes in the Ras Issa area in Salif district in Hodeida province.

South Carolina teen kills man in self-defense while held at knifepoint

A South Carolina teenager being held by a man with a knife at a motel shot and killed him in self-defense, deputies said Thursday.

Lt. Ryan Flood, with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, said the shooting happened Wednesday night at 20 Chalmers Road, which is the Travelers Inn.

The Greenville County Coroner’s Office identified the man killed as John Parker, 50, who officials said was living at the motel.
