MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) - A man was charged with reckless homicide following a shooting Saturday night.
The shooting occurred in the 1500 block of Frayser Boulevard. Police found a man bleeding on the floor of a living room with two bullet wounds: one in his chest and one in his thigh.
The man was pronounced dead nearly an hour later.
The suspect's mother said 29-year-old Travis Branch mistook the man as an intruder and shot him several times.
Branch ran from the scene and later turned himself in.
Branch told police he was shot weeks ago, and he thought the man was his uncaptured shooter coming to kill him.
Branch is charged with reckless homicide and is due in court tomorrow.
