Homeowner Defends Residence With Gun; Intruder Arrested

A homeowner held an unknown intruder at gunpoint until Summerville Police arrived to make an arrest around 6:25 p.m. Wednesday, according to police reports.

Phillip Jennings, of Cleghorn Street, was inside his home when an intoxicated stranger suddenly appeared inside.

“Upon arrival, Mr. Jennings advised that he held the male subject at gunpoint and ordered him to leave the residence. He stated that the male subject walked out of the house but stayed in the yard around the front porch and was speaking out of his head,” Officer Jo Stricklin stated.

Cops identified the alleged intruder as 56-year-old Charles Turner Jr., of 299 Scoggins Street, in Summerville.

“When asked what was going on, Mr. Turner stated that they (pointing as if someone was with him) wanted to come to the residence and that he knew the person that lived there,” Officer Stricklin said. “I advised Mr. Turner that he could not just enter people’s residence and that he could have been shot by the homeowner. Mr. Turner began speaking to his imaginary accomplices again. At that point, Mr. Turner was placed under arrested for public intoxication and loitering and prowling.”

Detroit Fatal Shooting at Hayes and Fordham deemed Justified
Posted By: Brian Thompson May 2, 2019

DETROIT, MI – Today the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office has denied a warrant request for a 37-year-old Detroit woman suspected in the fatal shooting of Angela McDuell, 48-years-old, of Clinton Township. shooting-investigation

The suspect and Ms. McDuell knew each other and were previously in a relationship. On April 22nd, 2019 at, 7:15 p.m., Ms. McDuell, the suspect and a female friend were outside of a liquor store at Hayes and Fordham in Detroit. All three women engaged in a verbal argument in the parking lot of the store. During the argument, Ms. McDuell pepper sprayed the suspect. The suspect, a licensed CPL holder, went to her car and retrieved a handgun.

The verbal argument appeared to end, and Ms. McDuell walked back to her car. Shortly thereafter, Ms. McDuell got into her car and twice drove it in reverse at a high rate of speed toward the suspect and her friend as they tried to get away. When Ms. McDuell drove at them for third time, almost pinning them against a wall with her car, the suspect fired one shot, fatally wounding Ms. McDuell.

Under Michigan law, in order to use deadly force in self-defense, a person must have an honest and reasonable belief that she is danger of being killed or seriously injured. The law also provides that if the person has an honest and reasonable belief that another person is danger of being killed or seriously injured, there is right to use deadly force in lawful self-defense of another.

Witness interviews and video evidence of the incident were thoroughly reviewed. The evidence in this case shows that Ms. McDuell drove her car at the suspect and her friend at a high rate of speed multiple times. The suspect did not point the gun at Ms. McDuell prior to the shooting and did not fire a shot until the third time that the car sped toward the suspect and her friend, nearly pinning them to the wall.

It was reasonable for the suspect to assume that being struck by the car or pinned against the wall would cause death or serious injury. The facts of this case clearly show that it was reasonable for the suspect to use deadly force to defend herself and her friend. The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office finds that the shooting was justified and the warrant request has been denied.

Woman Who Shot a Man on The Sierra Street Bridge Was Acting in Self-Defense
Posted on May 3, 2019
The killing of 29 year old Josue Oconitrillo April 20th appears to be a case of self defense. Reno Police say two women walking on the Sierra Street Bridge fought Oconitrillo after one of them was sexually attacked. One of the women pulled a gun from her purse to get him to stop, when he didn’t, she shot him once.

The shooter, who was drunk at the time, was arrested, but later released when the shooting was found to be justified. Ocanitrillo died in a hospital a week after the shooting. The woman who fired the fatal shot will be arraigned later this month for being intoxicated in possession of a firearm.

The ma was trying to gather himself and got back on his feet to walk away, when he told police that the pit bull came running back at him, full speed.
