We were contacted by a reporter with Channel 3 (WREG-TV) who provided a copy of an affidavit of a shooting that occurred in South Memphis on Wednesday, May 27. The man arrested for the shooting, Terron Taylor, told police that he did it because the victim "misrepresented his gender."
The victim, identified as Kelvin Denton, is in critical condition after being shot in the nose and throat.
