Man charged with murder after leaving car running while at ATM, shooting crook in head who jumped into car and drove off



A man was charged with murder after leaving his car running Friday while at an ATM in Philadelphia and shooting a male in the head who jumped into the car and drove off.

Officers responded after 3 p.m. to a shooting call at Frankford Avenue and Pratt Street, which is in the northeast section of the city, KYW-TV reported.

Police on Sunday said 39-year-old Sherwayne Garrison was charged with murder, KYW reported in a follow-up story.

Police told the station that a man using the ATM left his car running, and a male jumped into the car in an attempt to steal it. According to WPVI-TV, the 48-year-old male who jumped into the car ended up driving off with it — and the car owner fired one gunshot and hit the male in the head.

Police told WPVI the wounded male crashed the Honda into another car at Pratt Street outside the Frankford Transportation Center. Police added to KYW that the man who pulled the trigger is a licensed gun owner.

The police homicide unit told KYW the male who was shot was taken to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 6:17 p.m. the same day.

Authorities said Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority Police took the man who pulled the trigger into custody, KYW added.

Police on Sunday said 39-year-old Sherwayne Garrison was charged with murder, KYW reported in a follow-up story. The deceased 48-year-old's identity isn't known at this time, the station also said.

You can view a video report here about the shooting. It aired prior to police filing the murder charge.

How are people reacting?

As you might guess, the murder charges elicited strong reactions. Here are a handful of comments under a pair of KYW Facebook posts about the situation:

  • "Saw this coming," one commenter said. "As sad as it is, he was under no immediate threat, and the guy was running away from him. Sad that the criminals have more rights than we do. Hope he has a good lawyer."
  • "Stupid law...what [is] the guy supposed to do...let the criminal steal his car??" another user asked.
  • "So we can't defend ourselves and/or our properties now!" another commenter exclaimed. "This will open doors to criminals and push them to hurt good citizens more!"
  • "Not a surprise, always defending the criminals," another user noted.

Gun-toting masked thug threatens worker inside Philly deli while his accomplice drags out their prize — an ATM



A gun-toting masked man threatened a worker inside a Philadelphia deli Thursday night while his accomplice, also masked, dragged an ATM out of the corner market in the 200 block of West Olney Avenue.

What are the details?

Police said the two men entered the Martinez Deli just before 8:00 p.m. One of them used a black handgun to threaten a store employee, police said, while the other went to the back of the deli and "forcibly removed" an ATM.

Surveillance video captured the moment one of the men dragged the ATM out the front door of the establishment.

The ATM was placed it inside a gray 2010-2012 Toyota RAV4 which the pair had parked on the sidewalk prior to entering the deli, police said.

Video captured an image of the Pennsylvania temporary tag — 3953871 — but police ran a check on the tag and determined it did not belong to the RAV4.

Police said they are working on identifying the culprits.

Just another Philly crime

TheBlaze earlier this week wondered if Philly crooks are becoming more brazen amid a report of an armed man who reached into a McDonald's drive-thru window and ripped out a cash register:

Rapper who made music video about robbing ATMs arrested with crew that allegedly stole ATM cash: 'You shouldn't do stupid crap'



A Texas rapper who made a music video about robbing ATMs was arrested with a crew that allegedly stole ATM cash in Tennessee earlier this week.

What are the details?

Ladesion Riley — a 30 year old from Houston — recently made a music video titled "Make It Home" in which he references robbing ATMs out of state, KRIV-TV reported. The lyrics describe having thousands of dollars in a vehicle, praying to avoid a chase, and making it home, the station said.

It appears life has imitated art — well, almost.

Nashville Police said Riley was part of a four-member crew that carried out a plot to steal cash from an ATM there.

Around 10:40 a.m. Monday police said two of the crew members approached an ATM technician from behind as he serviced a Bank of America machine at 645 Thompson Lane. They told the victim to not do anything stupid and hand over the money, police said.

What happened next?

Detectives determined that one of the getaway vehicles, a Hyundai Elantra, was a Hertz rental, police said. Using data Hertz provided, authorities found the Elantra and a maroon Jeep that accompanied it parked at the Motel 6 in Dickson later Monday, police said, adding that detectives saw what appeared to be cash being loaded into the Jeep.

When the drivers of both vehicles pulled out of the parking lot, law enforcement officials — including those from the Federal Bureau of Investigation — pulled the vehicles over and took the occupants into custody without incident, police said, adding that cash was recovered.

Riley along with fellow Houston residents Darius Dugas, 27, Sashondre Dugas, 32, and Christopher Alton, 27, were being federally charged, police said, adding that the FBI is investigating if the crew has committed similar crimes elsewhere.

'How dumb is that?'

Riley’s rap alias appears to be "213 Jugg God." KRIV said the alias in part could be related to the term "jugging," which means the act of crooks following home unsuspecting victims from banks, malls, or restaurants to steal from them.

"If you’re going to rap about it, then turn around and be about it and get caught, that’s on you," Douglas Griffith, president of the Houston Police Officers’ Union, told the station. "You shouldn’t do stupid crap, and you definitely shouldn’t violate the law and talk about it."

KRIV added that online criminal records indicate at least two of the suspects were out of jail on felony bonds and were arrested several other times.

"Convicted felons doing their music videos with guns," Griffith added to the station. "How dumb is that? That right there is enough for them to get charged again."

Griffith also told KRIV that Riley & Co. "want to glorify the fact that they’re criminals. That saddens me because we have all of these kids watching this, and they’re glorifying it, and these kids look up to them. It’s dumb. These guys are dumb. They deserve to be tossed into jail just for being dumb."

Man at ATM turns the tables on gun-toting crook, grabbing his weapon and shooting him multiple times



A man standing at an ATM in a Philadelphia smoke shop got the best of a crook who approached him with a gun early Tuesday, grabbing the suspect's weapon and shooting him multiple times.

The suspect — who ran for his life through the shop's glass front — was found dead minutes later in a nearby stolen car.

What are the details?

Surveillance video captured the scary scene that took place around 1 a.m. in the 5300 block of 5th Street in the city's Olney section, WPVI-TV reported.

Police told the station the suspect, believed to be in his 20s, approached the 45-year-old victim — and then within seconds the victim wrenched the gun away from the suspect and shot him several times.

"I heard two pops," a neighbor who didn't want to be identified told WPVI. "I woke up out of my sleep, and I heard somebody scream."

Video also showed the victim hitting the suspect in the face with the gun and knocking him to the ground. The suspect then fled Y&H Snacks & Candy through the glass on the front door that had been partially shattered by gunfire.

Investigators told the station the suspect was found dead in a stolen car in the 400 block of West Olney Avenue, just blocks away from smoke shop. Officers found him around 1:15 a.m. with gunshot wounds to the groin and thigh, WTXF-TV reported, adding that the Toyota was stolen last week.

Anything else?

Police told WPVI a bullet hit a man who was waiting outside the smoke shop for the victim who shot the suspect, and he's expected to survive. WTXF said the 36-year-old man was shot in the shoulder.

The victim who fatally shot the suspect wasn't injured, WPVI said.

WTXF said he and the man who was waiting for him are cooperating with authorities.

Police said an individual who drove the suspect to the smoke shop is still being sought, WPVI reported. That person abandoned the suspect in the stolen car, WTXF said.

WPVI said it's unclear whether any charges will be filed in the case.

Crook actually calls 911 after man he tried to rob — a concealed carrier — turns the tables and fires gun at him



A Virginia man remained behind bars Tuesday after police said a concealed carrier he tried to rob at an ATM turned the tables and fired a gun at him, the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star reported.

What's more, the crook behind the foiled heist called 911 after getting shot at, the paper said.

What are the details?

The victim was holding his cash in his hand at the Bank of America ATM in the 10300 block of Courthouse Road in Spotsylvania at 9 p.m. Oct. 15 when the suspect approached in a "threatening" manner and hit the victim several times, Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Maj. Troy Skebo told the Free Lance-Star.

But the victim — a concealed weapon permit holder — pulled out his gun and fired several shots at the suspect, Skebo told the paper.

The suspect, who was not hit, ran across Courthouse Road in the direction of Mill Garden South subdivision, the Free Lance-Star reported, adding that the suspect called 911 and reported being shot at while at the ATM.

But authorities determined that the 911 caller matched the description of the robbery suspect at the ATM and was taken into custody, Skebo told the paper.

The victim suffered minor injuries during the incident, the Free Lance-Star reported, adding that the suspect was not injured.

What do we know about the suspect?

Trey Khiry Turner, 24, was charged with attempted robbery and placed in the Rappahannock Regional Jail under no bond, the paper reported.

Court records indicate Turner was convicted of attempted robbery and using a firearm in the commission of a felony in connection with a 2016 incident in Spotsylvania and was ordered to serve three years in prison, the Free Lance-Star reported.

After cops take guns, drugs from squatter-occupied home, intruders are out of jail and loading other items from home into U-Haul — as police helplessly watch



This isn't one of those exasperating stories that features homeowners unable to jettison squatters from their property despite all justice and reason.

No, this tale is mostly about the jaw-dropping things squatters literally were allowed to get away with after they were out of the property — and all while local police helplessly watched.

What are the details?

Recently squatters broke in to a multimillion-dollar home in Sammamish, Washington, which certainly piqued the interest of local workers who help maintain the property while the homeowner lives overseas, KIRO-TV reported.

And what did one of these workers find once inside the home?

Oh, just a dozen guns, bulletproof vests, over 15,000 fentanyl pills, along with heroin and meth and more than $40,000 in cash, the station said.

Not surprisingly, the worker called 911, after which police arrived, KIRO reported.

"The amount of guns, drugs, etcetera that were confiscated out of that place are not for personal use or for any good reason," Sammamish Police Chief Dan Pingrey told the station. "I totally recognize how frustrating it is for the neighborhood, and it's just as frustrating for us to be honest with you."

Oh, but it gets better.

Pingrey explained to KIRO that while police were on the scene "an unlicensed motorcycle showed up with two people on it."

The chief told the station that neighbors identified the duo on the motorcycle as the squatters, and they were duly arrested for burglary.

But wouldn't you know that they were both out of jail within days, KIRO said — and headed back to the property, this time with a crew of people in tow?

"After they were out of jail, we had a large group trying to get back into the house," Pingrey told the station. "No one was supposed to be there. The homeowners were not allowing anyone to stay there."

How much more frustrating does it get?

And then — like a cherry on top of a free cake — the squatters demanded to be allowed to take items from the property they claimed they owned, KIRO reported.

Pingrey explained to the station that law enforcement was limited in what it could do based on advice from from local prosecutors and lawyers — in other words, legally their hands were tied — and all officers could do was conduct a "civil standby."

KIRO said a neighbor took photos of police vehicles lined up on the street with officers watching the squatters filling a U-Haul truck with items from inside the home.

One photo showed a garage full of appliances — as well as an ATM, the station said.

"We were not allowed to go in there with them and had to allow them to take this property out," Pingrey told KIRO. "The person who had been illegally living there [was able] to come in and get what they stated was their property."

It isn't clear specifically who advised police that they weren't allowed to enter the property with the squatters. The King County Prosecutor's Office on Wednesday didn't immediately respond to TheBlaze's request for comment, and Pingrey was not in his office Wednesday.

Anything else?

The station reported that a worker for the homeowner was on the property Monday and said he was changing the locks. KIRO added that a home security technician also there.

"Somehow these squatters who are living in this residence have as much rights as the homeowner. And that's very difficult for any of us to understand," Pingrey added to the station. "It could happen again somewhere else, and this is where people in communities really need to be diligent."
