ERIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — A juvenile has been arrested and charged in connection with a deadly shooting in Houston County, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
TBI agents began investigating Tuesday at the request of 23rd Judicial District Attorney General Ray Crouch after a shooting in the 2000 block of Clay Tomlinson Road in Erin.
Investigators said preliminary information indicates a juvenile became involved in an altercation with 22-year-old Ezekiel Ochoa.
For reasons that remain under investigation, TBI said the situation escalated. Agents said evidence collected during the investigation suggests the juvenile shot and killed Ochoa.
Agents obtained a juvenile petition charging the juvenile with one count of criminal homicide.
The juvenile is being held in juvenile detention pending a hearing.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
