MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - A woman shot and killed a man at a gas station on Ridgeway Road, according to Memphis Police Department.
Memphis police arrested Teneler Mathis, and she is charged with first-degree murder.
A black Cadillac with Tennessee tags drove on the Marathon Gas Station lot located at 3233 Ridgeway Road around 10:18 a.m. on May 7.
According to the affidavit, Teneler Mathis exited the driver’s side of the car with a handgun in her right hand while the passenger switched seats.
In the surveillance video, Mathis allegedly walked up to the victim and shot him in the back.
The victim fell to the ground as the suspect struck him with the handgun and kicked the victim, said police.
After a physical altercation with the victim, Mathis returned to the Cadillac and was last seen going north on Ridgeway Road.
Jeremy Henry was taken to the hospital after experiencing multiple gunshot wounds. He did not survive.
The suspect claims that Henry attacked her and fired shots in self-defense, but surveillance video suggests otherwise, according to the affidavit.
She shot him. She struck him with the handgun. She then kicked him.
I’d say she didn’t like the victim very much, What say you?
Obviously there is more to this shooting than the cited story details. But I fail to see a self-defense angle in it.
“I’d say she didn’t like the victim very much, What say you?”
But it was in a defensive kind of way. He should have been glad she didn’t fear/hate him and might have really done some damage.

Maybe he had eyes in the back of his head
I’m thinking she might has known him.

Appears to be a rather disturbed individual.
Maybe he was Kolak from the planet Twilo. Did he look like Danny Thomas?

Rabid animals should be put down.
And yes I can see that as self defense in certain cases.
Someone tells me that are going to kill me I do not have the luxury of assuming that they are a liar.
However in this case, lacking any sort of background, I would say that this does not appear to be self defense.
So can one shoot a threat if the threat is walking backward towards you? What about if they are running for cover but holding a gun?
The second a person is a threat, that person never stops being a threat in my mind. Of course most idiots on juries do not think as I do.
