A 12-year-old boy is recovering after being shot in a drive-by.

Memphis Police said the alleged shooter fired shots at a house where the child was playing, but the story continues. According to police, they took 35-year-old Latorya Lemons into custody for harassment earlier in the week. She was released the day before the 12-year-old boy was shot.

Police said she then allegedly returned to the same location, to find the man she is accused of harassing and allegedly doing the drive-by on. However, FOX13 recently learned Lemons may already be free once again.

FOX13 spoke with neighbors in the community who told us what happened Wednesday night in the 800 block of Faxon Avenue is not the norm.

“It really is a good solid community, but it is the hood, but ain’t nothing wrong with that,” said neighbor Cherryl Crite.

Police responded to the scene at 6:05 p.m. Wednesday in reference to the shooting.

“You’re shooting, and you probably don’t know how to shoot. You hit that baby, it’s not going to hit your target,” said Crite.

Thank you. It’s like a badly-written mystery novel.

“Can it be assumed that Ms. Crite has never herself suffered a gunshot wound?”

If not, she will sooner or later where she lives.
