According to police, 14-year-old Christopher Cooper, Joshua Fletcher, Justin Williams and Ashley Lutts were involved in a home invasion in the 800 block of Tuscany in Southaven on Wednesday, July 10.

The homeowner pulled a gun and opened fire on the suspects, striking Cooper. He was found in the middle of the intersection of Tuscany Way and Surrey Lane dead from a gunshot wound.
