MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Southaven Police Department (SPD) says a fourth suspect has turned himself in, and one man is still wanted after a chase and shootout with accused car theft suspects Wednesday morning.
One suspect was arrested and taken into custody a few hours after the incident. SPD said a second suspect was also taken into custody. A third turned himself in Thursday morning, and the fourth Friday morning.
SPD said the remaining suspect who they are currently looking for is Michael Harris, 19, who is wanted on charges of attempted murder. In a statement on Facebook, Southaven Police said, "All of our attention will now be on the apprehension of Michael Harris Jr."
SPD announced Friday morning that Kyle Dodson, 20, wanted on charges of attempted murder, turned himself in and is in custody.
Southaven Police said a short time after releasing the identity of the wanted suspects, Martavious Carpenter, 24, turned himself in. He faces a charge of conspiracy to commit a crime.
Southaven Police said Gabriel Crockett, 20, is in custody and charged with two counts of attempted murder, conspiracy to commit a crime, fleeing law enforcement, and receiving stolen property.
Travion Hollomon, 20, of Memphis, was arrested about 9 a.m. Wednesday. SPD said he is charged with two counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, two counts of conspiracy to commit a crime, taking away a motor vehicle, and possession of burglary tools. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI), which is now investigating, said Hollomon was taken to a hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries when he was arrested.
Southaven Police said it all began just before 1 a.m. Wednesday, March 22, 2023, when officers spotted a stolen Nissan Maxima in the area of Stateline Rd. and Horn Lake Rd. Investigators said the car entered Rasco Hills Dr. then Running Horse Cove, with an unmarked detective car trailing it.
Investigators said at that point, the detective following the stolen car did not realize a suspect had gotten out of the vehicle, and they said that suspect was in the process of stealing another vehicle. SPD said the detective got out of his car to deploy stop sticks, and the suspect who had gotten out of the vehicle began firing at him. SPD said the detective returned fire, and the suspect ran away.
Police said the Maxima took off with the other suspects inside. SPD said officers chased the Maxima into Memphis, and the suspects fired shots at the officers and were able to get away.
Southaven Police said no officers were injured during the incident.
Anyone with any additional information is asked to contact MBI at mbitips@dps.ms.gov.
MBI is currently gathering evidence, and upon completing its investigation, will share findings with the Attorney General’s Office.
