MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Police are investigating a shooting that sent one person to the hospital Saturday in South Memphis.

Memphis police say they responded to the 2000 block of Charjean Road at around 12:30 p.m. Saturday.

Police say the incident started as an argument over a dog. The victim reportedly told police that he was trying to intervene between two arguing neighbors when of those neighbors pulled out a gun.

The victim says that he and that neighbor began to argue and struggle over control of the gun. That’s when the victim was shot.

A family member of the victim said she heard gun shots and came outside to find her family member had been shot.

Much like police, the person also told WREG that the argument was over a dog.

That family member, as well as other residents in the area, told WREG that the shooting happened after an altercation occurred between neighbors. The family member said she believes the victim was shot trying to de-escalate the situation.

Police have arrested Damon Porter, Pamela Lopez and Juan Zarazua in connection with this shooting. All three have been charged with aggravated assault.
