MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) – A Cordova woman is behind bars after she allegedly ordered her boyfriend to kill her stepfather Thursday evening, a plan that reportedly backfired and left her boyfriend fighting for his life in the hospital.

Mya Janzen, 23, is charged with facilitation of first-degree murder.

The Memphis Police Department says officers were dispatched to a house in the 1100 block of Dove Hollow Circle at 6:22 p.m. Thursday.

Arrest records show that Janzen lives there with her stepfather. He told responding officers that he had to kick Janzen out of his house after a heated argument that evening.

Once outside, Janzen allegedly called her boyfriend and told him to come over and kill her stepdad.

He arrived a short time later and shot at the victim several times with a pistol, according to the arrest affidavit.

MPD says Janzen’s stepfather was grazed by a single round before returning fire, striking her boyfriend several times.

SLIDELL, La. —
The Slidell Police Department is investigating an overnight shooting that officers say resulted from an attempted vehicle theft and left one person dead.

Shortly after 1 a.m. Saturday, Slidell police got a call regarding someone who appeared to be trying to break into a parked car in the area of the Retreats at Fremaux Town Center apartments.

As police responded, they say they got a second call about several gunshots fired near The Masons Apartment Complex that they were told were possibly coming from a black SUV.

Arriving officers found a black Cadillac Escalade turning onto Old Spanish Trail from Town Center Parkway. When officers tried to stop the car, it fled.

Officers pursued the car into New Orleans. Three men got out and ran, according to Slidell police.

A police K-9 found and apprehended one suspect, who was hiding underneath a raised house. Officers found a second suspect hiding behind a shed in the backyard of a home with a firearm that Slidell PD says was discovered to be stolen.

Officers searched the SUV and say they found a dead man in the back seat. They say he suffered an apparent gunshot wound.
