MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Police said Friday they have two suspects in custody who allegedly carjacked a person and fired shots at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis Thursday.
MPD said around 3 p.m., officers received a call to Baptist Hospital on Walnut Grove Road where a victim had been carjacked.
According to MPD, the two suspects assaulted the victim and took her Toyota Corolla while in the garage. They strangled the victim to the point where she lost consciousness, and regained consciousness on the ground.
A witness saw the two suspects struggling with the victim and was shot at by one of the suspects, who then fled the scene in the victim's car.
Around 6:25 pm, officers received information that the carjacked vehicle was in the area of Winchester and Outland Road.
Officers located the vehicle occupied by two men, later identified as Jermaine Cobb, 35, and Kendrick Haynes, 34, in the 3700 block of Outland Road.
MPD said Cobb was arrested immediately, but Haynes ran from officers before being caught and taken into custody.
According to a police affidavit, Haynes gave officers four different first names, three different last names and three dates of birth before giving them his correct information, then caused about $1,000 in damage to the back seat of the patrol car he was put in. He was later charged with vandalism for this incident.
Officers recovered a green shirt worn during the carjacking in the driver's seat of the stolen vehicle.
Both Cobb and Haynes were charged with carjacking, as well as three counts of attempted murder and felony possession of a firearm, among other charges, and both are being held in the Shelby County Jail without bond.
