Gulfport police are investigating a homicide that occurred Thursday morning during an alleged home invasion at a residence in the 1700 block of 21st Street, authorities said. Police received a 911 call about the break-in around 7:04 a.m., Lt. Jason Ducr\u00e9 said.<\/p>\n

The shooting happened after a man, identified by Harrison County Coroner Brian Switzer as Dangelo Rayjvon Murphy, 29, forced his way inside with a hammer and a knife and attacked two women who live in the home in an alleged act of domestic violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs he gets in, they go to barricade themselves in a room,\u201d Ducr\u00e9 said. \u201cHe starts slashing at them. One of the women had defensive wounds on her.\u201d While Murphy was trying to break into the room where the injured woman had taken shelter, the second woman retrieved a gun and shot him, Ducr\u00e9 said.<\/p>\n

Dangelo Murphy Harrison County Sheriff\u2019s Department Murphy later died from his injuries, Switzer said.
