Police say the investigation points to Thurman. The warrant is the accusation. It does not name the two people who were shot, and it is not a trial. The man who died does not get a verdict from an arrest.
Darrell Thurman, 33, is charged with first-degree murder, employment of a firearm with intent to commit a felony, and aggravated assault. Memphis police arrested him at about 12:40 p.m. on Nov. 9 in the 700 block of St. Paul Avenue. He was taken into custody without a struggle. The warrant was issued Oct. 25.
On Oct. 17, at about 1:25 a.m., officers went to a shooting in the 2900 block of Southwall Street. A man and a woman had been shot. The woman was taken to a hospital in condition that was not critical. The man was critical and later died. Police have not released their names.
Police say their investigation identified Thurman as the shooter. No court date or bond had been reported Wednesday.

BREAKINGNashville Officer Charged With Work DUI
The breath result and the firearm count are charges. Decommissioning takes his police authority while the department looks at his job, and it is not a finding of guilt. The criminal case still has to be proved.

BREAKINGNo Charge in Biddeford ICE Shooting
Durán Guerrero is dead, and no one has been charged. Emails from 2021 can tell a prosecutor where to look. They do not prove what an officer saw in the seconds before the shots, and they are not a case. The decision still sits with the attorney general.

BREAKINGWilson Charged After Deadly Inkster Crash
Second-degree murder in this crash is about the risk of the flight, not a plan to kill the other driver. The same office that filed the charge has said the troopers who shot Wilson were justified, and that review does not prove the murder count. A probable-cause conference on Nov. 18 is the next step, not a trial.
