UPDATE: An Odessan who was believed to have kicked his way into an occupied apartment during a home invasion attempt Friday night was fatally shot in the head by the resident.

Al McGruder, 38, was found near the front door of a unit at the Arbor Oaks Apartments in the 1000 block of East Monahans Street by officers who responded to a 9:44 p.m. call about a disturbance, the Odessa Police Department reported.

Officers learned that McGruder and another man tried forcing their way into an apartment by kicking open the front door. The tenant, identified by the OPD as 27-year-old Kendric Graham, then opened fire, and struck McGruder.

The second man bolted from the scene when officers arrived. He is described as a black man in his 30s and stands about 6 feet, 170 pounds. Anyone with information about the suspect or the fatal shooting incident can call the OPD at 432-335-4961 or Odessa Crime Stoppers at 432-333-8477.
