MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Memphis police searched for a suspect who got away from K-9 patrols and even a police helicopter after he robbed a man, shot at police, and caused schools to be locked down.

Police said two men beat and robbed a man in the 1100 block of Catalina, taking everything but his underwear. One man is behind bars, but his partner in crime is on the run.

"That was a scary thing!" James Trenell said.

Trenell was on Catalina, laying under a car trying to fix it Wednesday.

"I saw them stripping him out of his clothes and stuff, and then saw them run down the street with everything he had," Trenell said.

Trenell said he froze as he watched two guys beat and rob a man in a driveway five feet away, taking the man's money and clothes - everything but his boxers. The robbers then took off.

"I heard some gunfire. Three shots," witness Rickey Shotwell said.

Police said one of the robbers then shot at an officer, and the officer fired back. No one was hit.

"I was sitting in my living room. It sounded like it was in my living room!" Eric Clements said.

Police barricaded the area, forcing Sherwood Middle and Elementary school to go on lockdown while they searched by foot and air.

Witnesses told WREG's Michael Quander one of the suspects was found in a shed behind a home on Vanuys. Investigators confirmed they caught one of the guys and confiscated multiple weapons, but the other got away.

"This is ridiculous. Daylight! They don't care. They don't," Shotwell said.

Police were still on the scene as kids were coming home from school. Students weaved trough the crime scene. Some said they were terrified, and others confused.

"Every day it's something. Every day," Shotwell said.

Neighbors said they didn't know the victim, but gave him clothes while he sat in the cop car waiting to give police his story. Some said it looked like he was crying.

As for Trenell, he too is shaken up.

"I didn't think anything would go on like that in broad daylight," he said.

Police charged Charles Travis, 24, with aggravated robbery, aggravated assault, and convicted felon in possession of a handgun.
