Once again, we see the tragic consequences of a teenager who gets in way, way over his head.

As WDAM reports:

A suspect who died in a Hub City home invasion Sunday night has been identified.

Justin Woodland, 17, was killed after being shot by the homeowner, according to Hattiesburg police. Forrest County Deputy Coroner Lisa Klem said Woodland’s body will be sent to Jackson for an autopsy.

According to HPD, one person was taken into custody and questioned, but was released without charges being filed. Anton Smith, a second suspect, was charged with armed robbery and burglary of a dwelling.

The shooting happened just after 9:30 p.m. at a home near the intersection of Orange and Xavier Street in Hattiesburg. “We are investigating a possible home invasion where it appears the suspect was shot by a homeowner at the residence,” said Hattiesburg Police Capt. Branden McLemore.
