MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Shelby County Grand Jury is set to hear the case against the man charged after Memphis Police said he fired a shot into a TV station along the Highland Strip.

During his first court hearing in May, a public defender was requested, and the mental evaluation was ordered. The case was sent to the Shelby County Grand Jury on Aug. 15, according to court records.

About 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 2, 2023, there were reports of a shot fired into the FOX13 Memphis station in the 400 block of South Highland. Several FOX 13 employees told ABC24 the gunman shot into the building through security doors with a rifle. We were told no one was injured.

Memphis Police said they arrived on the scene of a potential armed party at Ubee's in the 500 block of South Highland, just a couple doors down from the TV station.
