18-year-old charged with attempted murder in Pearl shooting
An 18-year-old is charged with attempted murder after police say a fight turned into a shooting.
Officers responded at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday after receiving several 911 calls about the shooting at the Grand Apartments in Pearl. The complex is also known as Colony Park Apartments.
"Two males got into a fight that involved guns, and one male on the scene was detained for detectives," city officials said in a news release.
Detectives took the suspect into custody and learned that the other person involved in the fight had been dropped off at a hospital, where he was last listed in critical condition with gunshot wounds.
Later that evening, Pearl police arrested Antonio Devon Pittman, 18, who is charged with attempted murder. Other charges are pending.
