Homeowner Kills Intruder During Hickory Hill Home Invasion
A car thief and home invasion robber is dead after a shootout with a homeowner in Hickory Hill.
Memphis police are investigating the homicide in the 3700 block of Hyacinth, near Winchester and Mendenhall.
Investigators say a man who had been breaking into cars on Hyacinth forced his way into a home around 2:30 a.m. Friday, March 28, 2008.
Once inside, the crook got into a gunfight with the homeowner. The intruder was killed and the homeowner was rushed to The Med with a gun shot wound. He is in non-critical condition and preparing to give police a statement.
Police did not know what motive the car thief had for breaking into the home.
The area has been a hot spot for car and home burglaries lately and officers have been focusing on the problem as part of the Blue Crush crime initiative, according to police.
