Although authorities arent releasing many details of the case, Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk said it appears that Arsenio Wooten, 17, was felled by a round fired by homeowner Richard A. Naleway, 44. DeBusk said police dont believe that the teen was struck by a bullet fired by his accomplice.
Theyre still doing an autopsy, but nothing suggests otherwise, DeBusk said.
Wooten died during an exchange of gunfire at 814 Carls Lane about 5:25 a.m. Wednesday, police say. Naleway, who was at home with his wife, said that he fired two shots from a semiautomatic pistol as two would-be robbers tried to push their way through his front door.
A spent shell casing recovered from the scene and Naleways statement indicated that one of the suspects also fired a shot from a semiautomatic pistol, but DeBusk said the exact sequence of the shots wasnt clear.

Hmm, damn shame. That’s the way it goes when you go breaking in to someone’s home.

Considering how stressful a home invasion is, I’d say that’s pretty good shootin’.

It’s a shame and a waste that such a young man chose to end his life so early.

He was awakened by knocks around 5am or so and wisely put a chambered gun in his pocket.

Wooten had faced charges five times since 2007, including arrests for possessing a counterfeit substance on school grounds, disorderly conduct, inciting a riot, vandalism, criminal trespassing and resisting a police stop, according to court records. The most serious charge he had faced came in 2008 when he was arrested and charged with auto theft. Please tell me why in God's name was that preceeded by this:
DeBusk said police dont believe that the teen was struck by a bullet fired by his accomplice.
and this:
Naleway has no criminal record in Knox County, records show.
Are they saying they tried, but could not come up with a way to implicate the victim?

oh, I seriously like that.

Absolutely. I agree 110% on that. However, it WAS his choice to break into someone else’s home which would a total threat to the homeowner. Thank God the homeowner was not killed. You DO NOT break into anyone else’s home. I don’t care what color they are, what religion they are, what nationality they are or whatever else you can toss in the mix.
You DO NOT BREAK into someone else’s home. You just DO NOT DO IT.
