Charged with murder, in the lead, and first-degree murder, in the name sentence, are not the same charge line. Everyone was armed, and the unidentified man was not armed and did not fire, are both on the page. What Kaleb Clark said, as the station reports it, is not a finding about who fired. A charge is not a conviction.

FOX13 Memphis, by Amber Strong, carries a time element of 2026-11-08T16:26:00-06:00. The visible byline, when the page was read, did not print that clock as an hour. It printed the date Nov. 8, 2026. The dateline is MEMPHIS, Tenn. The lead says three men have been arrested and charged with murder after an early Saturday morning shooting. The next sentence says Kylon Tremell Young, 19, Kaleb Clark, 20, and Zachary Clark, 20, are charged with first-degree murder after Jeremy Birdsong was killed, according to Memphis police. Charged with murder, in the lead, and first-degree murder, in that sentence, are not the same charge line, and they are on the same page. The photograph caption reads, left to right, Kylon Young, Zachary Clark, Kaleb Clark. It does not print Tremell. It does not print a comma between Zachary Clark and Kaleb Clark. It does not print an agency. Kylon Young, in the caption, and Kylon Tremell Young, in the sentence, are not the same name. The order in the caption puts Zachary Clark before Kaleb Clark. The sentence puts Kaleb Clark before Zachary Clark. The page says they are expected to appear in court Monday. Monday does not print a date, a courtroom, or a bond. The page does not print a jail.

The page says that on Saturday around 3:30 a.m., officers responded to Methodist University Hospital, where Birdsong was brought by the suspects in a Nissan Altima, police said. Suspects, in that sentence, is plural. It says he suffered a gunshot wound to the back of the head and was pronounced dead at 4:47 a.m. The 4:47 a.m. sentence does not repeat Saturday. Around 3:30 a.m., and 4:47 a.m., are not the same clock. It says the shooting happened in the 700 block of Carson St. The headline names Orange Mound. The body does not print Orange Mound. It says that upon arrival at the crime scene, officers found a large pool of blood, handgun and rifle shell casings. Handgun casings, and rifle shell casings, are both in that sentence. It says the outside of the home also sustained damages and markings from bullets. Damages is the word the page prints. It says that, according to police, the group went to the home with intentions of shooting it up. It then says everyone was armed when Kaleb and an unidentified man got out and fired shots at the house. Everyone was armed, in that sentence, includes the unidentified man, and it says he fired. A man who was outside ran inside, police said. The page does not print a comma before police said in that sentence. It says that during the incident, Kaleb said his cousin, Birdsong may have stepped in front of one of the shooters and been shot accidentally. Cousin, in that sentence, is what the page says Kaleb said. It is not a relationship the page prints apart from that statement. It says he later said the unidentified man may have fired the shot, according to police. He, in that sentence, is Kaleb. May have fired, in that later statement, and got out and fired, in the earlier sentence, are not the same claim.

The next sentence says the unidentified man was not armed and did not fire, police said. The page does not print a comma before police said. Was not armed and did not fire, and everyone was armed when Kaleb and an unidentified man got out and fired, are not the same account, and they are on the same page. May have fired the shot, in what the page says Kaleb later said, and did not fire, in what the page says police said, are not the same account. Accidentally, in the cousin statement, is Kaleb's statement as the station reports it. It is not a finding the page prints in its own voice. The page does not name the unidentified man. It does not print Birdsong's age. It does not print a street number inside the 700 block. It does not print who drove the Nissan Altima. It does not print a lawyer. First-degree murder is the charge the name sentence uses. Murder, in the lead, is the other charge word on the page. The ages on the page are 19, 20, and 20. The caption does not print the ages. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

FOX 4 says Jimmy Harold Spurger Jr. was booked Saturday on a first-degree murder warrant. WFAA says the arrest was Friday.

Saturday morning, and Friday, are not the same custody clock. Around 10:40 p.m., and approximately 11:13 p.m., are not the same call. The 2323 block, and the 2300 block, are not the same address line. Died at the scene, and taken to a hospital where she died, are not the same account. A first-degree murder warrant is not the word murder standing alone. A charge is not a conviction.

WBTV says Noah Harris was charged Friday with first-degree murder. Statesville police say murder and first-degree kidnapping.

Murder and first-degree kidnapping, and first-degree murder and kidnapping, and first-degree kidnapping and first-degree murder, are not the same charge line. Charged Friday, Nov. 6, and charged on Saturday, and subsequently arrested, are not the same clock. Without bond is on WBTV and Iredell Free News. It is not in the police update. A charge is not a conviction.
