A man upset over a divorce was the gunman who killed defense lawyer Robert Friedman, Memphis homicide detectives said Saturday.
Police arrested and charged Harold Don Noel, 48, in Friedman's death.
Friedman was shot at least twice, in the head and in the chest, Friday morning while he stood at an elevator in the garage of his office building at 100 N. Main.
The gunman then ran through the building, down the escalator and onto the Main Street Mall. A surveillance camera showed him hopping into a parked car on Jefferson.

NINA M. NOEL v. HAROLD DON NOEL
Court:TCA
Attorneys:
Darryl W. Humphrey, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellant, Harold Don Noel.
Rita L. Stotts, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellee, Nina M. Noel.
Judge: LILLARD
First Paragraph:
This is a divorce case. The trial court granted the husband the divorce but ordered him to pay, inter alia, $8000 in child support arrearage, half of the wages owed to the former employees of the wife's new business, and court costs. The husband appealed.
We reverse the trial court's holding that the husband should pay half of the wages of the wife's new business, since this is the wife's separate debt incurred after the parties separated, and affirm the remainder of the trial court's order.
