Memphis police say a man was shot and killed and found in a trash can inside his roommate’s bedroom after the two allegedly argued over $10 while celebrating another roommate’s birthday.
Police say at 5:02 a.m. Tuesday, officers responded to a shooting call with a person struck at a home on Prescott Road near Harris Avenue.
When officers arrived, they were approached by two men, both residents of the home, who told police that their roommate had been shot by another roommate, 38-year-old Perry Hughes, who they said was likely still inside.
Officers went inside and found Hughes barricaded in his room. After a short standoff, officers were able to talk him out of his room and place him into custody.
In Hughes’ bedroom, officers located the shooting victim inside a city trash can upside down and covered in trash, according to the arrest affidavit. Paramedics pronounced the victim dead on the scene. Investigators later determined the victim had been shot multiple times.
Inside Hughes’ bedroom, investigators located three handguns, two of which were stolen. A mop with what appeared to be blood on the mop head and a bucket with what appeared to be bloody water inside was found in an adjacent room, police say.
Stolen guns. :lol
The two witnesses on the scene gave statements to investigators. One man said on his birthday Monday, they all decided to play dominoes and drink in celebration.
The men told investigators that Hughes and the victim later became intoxicated and began to argue over $10. The argument turned physical and the two began to fight.
Sounds familiar. :lol
