Homeowner kills robberNo subsequent stories about this incident were found.
Two involved in shooting may have had relationship, police say
A homeowner shot and killed an assailant outside a Parkway Village home Wednesday afternoon during an apparent robbery attempt, authorities said.
Police did not identify those involved but said they may have had a relationship.
"There are some indications there may be a connection between the homeowner and the assailant. ... We're trying to determine the relationship," Sgt. Vince Higgins said.
Authorities were still questioning the resident late Wednesday, and the case will be reviewed by the district attorney general to determine if the shooting was justified, Higgins said.
Officers were called at 3:07 p.m. to a robbery in progress at 3202 Clearbrook.
Police arrived to find a man shot to death beside the carport.
The resident told police the assailant and at least one other individual approached him, tried to rob him and fired shots at him.
Officers were searching for the other assailant who fled, Higgins said.
The resident told police that the robbers came to his home and threatened him. The black Cadillac the dead man rode remained parked in the driveway as police investigated.
The resident told police the assailants shot at him first, and he returned fire.
The dead man was struck several times.
