Friday morning feel good stories

From Pensacola, Florida;

“Nobody should have to go like that,” said Lolita Bullock. “It’s senseless.”

David Washington, 27, died just feet away from bullock’s front door.

“I’m the one who made the initial phone call,” said Bullock. “I stayed with him until they got here, I stayed with him until they removed him, I wouldn’t leave him.”

Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies believe Washington was shot during a drug-related home invasion. Investigators said he and three others were involved. One of whom the sheriff’s office identifies as 22-year-old Lyntonio De’Shawn Quinn.

Now, with blood stains in her front yard, Bullock wants others to know the circumstances don’t justify what happened.

From Nashville, Tennessee;

The Nash County Sheriff’s Office received a call regarding an armed robbery at the Four Points General Store at 5636 Red Road north of Nashville. The call came in shortly before 9 p.m.

Authorities say a man entered the store, brandished a gun and demanded the store employee give him money from the register. During the encounter, the employee pulled out a revolver and fired multiple shots at the man as he fled the store, according to the sheriff’s office. The employee was not injured, officials said.

Officials said it’s unknown at this time if the suspect was struck by any bullets fired by the employee.

From Horseheads, New York;

The incident occurred shortly after 11:30 p.m. at 224 Overlook Drive, according to the Chemung County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responding to a 911 call learned that three male subjects entered the residence, armed with a loaded rifle, and demanded cash from the two occupants.

During the incident, a suspect later identified as Daiquan J. Bythwood, 18, of Elmira, became involved in a physical altercation with one of the occupants, according to Sheriff Christopher Moss.

During the struggle, the second occupant shot Bythwood with a shotgun, Moss said.

The suspects fled the residence in a dark-colored sedan. Bythwood was transported by his accomplices to St. Joseph’s Hospital, Moss said.

Bythwood was transferred to Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, where he underwent emergency surgery. He was in critical condition Thursday afternoon.

Elmira police took a second suspect, identified as 17-year-old Zhamere F. Charriez of Elmira, into custody Thursday and turned him over to the sheriff’s office.

Charriez was charged with first-degree robbery, a felony. He was arraigned in Town of Horseheads Court and committed to the Chemung County Jail in lieu of $50,000 cash bail or $100,000 property bond.

Authorities are still seeking the third suspect, identified as Drew P. Stansfield, 19, of Horseheads.
