An Alabama woman fatally shot a male amid an alleged home burglary Sunday night in Decatur, WZDX-TV reported.
A dispatch call indicated a woman said her house was being robbed, and that a male was heard screaming in the background.
State records show Brinkley served time for offenses, including first-degree robbery, third-degree burglary, possession of a pistol by a convicted felon, and distribution of a controlled substance, WZDX noted.
WAFF-TV said it picked up the following from a dispatch phone call: “10-4 units responding to the burglary in progress, 22nd Avenue caller now advising it was a black male wearing a white shirt armed with a firearm. The caller now advises she has shot that male; he is currently laying on the ground.”
A dispatch call also noted the woman shot the male in the chest and that he was "not conscious, not breathing."

Decatur police officers responded around 7:30 p.m. to the report of a burglary in progress in the 1200 block of 22nd Avenue SW, and police said they were informed the caller shot the male suspect, WZDX reported.
When officers arrived, the male was found inside the residence with apparent gunshot wounds, and Morgan County Coroner Jeff Chunn pronounced him dead at the scene, WZDX noted.
Chunn on Tuesday identified the male as 46-year-old Narado Brinkley, and WZDX said his criminal past includes drug and burglary convictions.
State records show Brinkley served time for offenses, including first-degree robbery, third-degree burglary, possession of a pistol by a convicted felon, and distribution of a controlled substance, WZDX noted.
His records also indicate multiple probation violations, and he most recently served five months after a 2023 conviction on drug and burglary counts, WZDX added.

WZDX said the alleged shooter cooperated with investigators and was released with no charges at this time.
However, the station noted that the incident remains under investigation and will be referred to the Morgan County District Attorney’s Office for grand jury consideration.

A stranger allegedly grabbed a propane tank and chucked it through a window of a Georgia home early Monday morning before going on a rampage inside the residence, WSB-TV reported.
A woman named Michelle — who didn't give her last name — told the station she's a member of the family that endured the frightening home invasion in Lawrenceville, noting that the suspect "grabbed a propane gas tank, the big ones from the back, threw it at the window, broke the window, and that’s how he came into the house."
'If every homeowner was armed, thugs would think twice about breaking in.'
WSB said video shows a male behind the family’s home just before 4:30 a.m. and that interior surveillance video shows a shirtless suspect destroying things inside the home while the family called 911 for help.
“He was in there getting naked, taking his clothes off, smashing stuff," Michelle told the station.
Gwinnett County Police said the residents in the home in the 2000 block of Redbark Court immediately confronted the suspect, and officers surrounded the home with the male still inside with the victims.
Police noted that as officers entered the residence to arrest the suspect, the homeowner shot him, and the suspect died.
Police said homicide detectives and crime scene investigators responded to the scene to speak with witnesses and collect evidence. The name of the victim is being withheld until next of kin is notified, police said.
“This is such a calm neighborhood," Michelle told WSB. "We’ve lived here for over 20 years, and nothing like this has ever occurred."
Neighbors told the station that the suspect may have hopped a fence at a nearby shopping center and walked through the woods to get to the house.
Michelle told WSB she's grateful her family members are all OK in the wake of the terrifying incident: “Yeah, my family is all safe. Thank God. God is good."
No charges have been announced, the station said.
Observers had no sympathy for the suspect:

Surveillance video caught the moment when a mob of hammer-wielding, hooded thugs pulled off a smash-and-grab jewelry store robbery in broad daylight.
A vehicle is seen backing into the San Jose store's entrance, which created an opening for at least a dozen crooks to pour in late last week.
'This is appalling. Watching this senior get assaulted made my blood boil.'
San Jose police confirmed it's investigating an "armed robbery" that occurred at the Kim Hung Jewelry store on the 1900 block of Aborn Road just after 2 p.m. Friday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
No arrests have been made, and the robbers are "unidentified and remain at large," the department confirmed Sunday morning to the Chronicle.
Video appears to show 16 individuals entering the store holding hammers and breaking display cases and grabbing merchandise as a few store employees look on. Police told the paper that at least one of the suspects carried a gun but didn't comment on the value of the items stolen.
The robbers fled the scene in multiple vehicles, police said in their statement, according to the paper.
Video shows one of the robbers violently shoving one of the employees to the floor, and an X poster noted that his friend's 88-year-old uncle was the victim in question.
"He was injured by broken glass and then had a stroke," the poster wrote before adding a message to San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, saying the Democrat has "done a lot for SJ but still more criminals to be locked up."
The Chronicle said it couldn't independently verify the information in the X post.
Mahan posted on X the following response: "This is appalling. Watching this senior get assaulted made my blood boil. I’m sorry this happened to your friend’s uncle, @Chris_Moore4Sup. These people need to face the harshest possible consequences for their actions. I’ve been in touch with our Police Chief @SJPD_AC_Joseph and will be following the investigation closely. Wishing our @SanJosePD officers godspeed as they pursue leads."
The paper said police didn't respond to an inquiry regarding if anyone was injured during the incident and added that the department did not have "any details to provide at this time."
Police also told the Chronicle that anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact the agency’s robbery unit at sjpdrobbery@sanjoseca.gov.
