MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis man faces attempted murder charges over what started as an attempt to steal a pair of sneakers.

Ronald Thomas told police when he came home Sunday he found his nephew, Terrance Reed, trying to steal a pair of Nike shoes.

Thomas said Reed smashed a window and jumped out to escape.

He said outside he, his girlfriend, and a neighbor confronted Reed and Reed started shooting at the neighbor.

That neighbor pretended to be shot, while Thomas and his girlfriend ran in opposite directions.

Reed shot at both according to police, and hit the girlfriend in the knee.

Minutes later, police say Reed robbed and carjacked a neighbor who saw the entire incident.

After he drove off, Reed ended up in the 700 block of Waldorf where he was shot by an unknown person.

Reed is being treated and is charged with several counts of attempted murder and aggravated robbery.

The woman who was shot is recovering.
