A Memphis mother fought back during a terrifying home invasion — and now the would-be intruders are facing serious charges.
According to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, three individuals — Kimari Burnham (21), Dejwan Payne (22), and Nala Kelley (21) — arrived uninvited at a family’s home near Hacks Cross Road and began banging on the door, shouting threats at the woman inside.
Fearing for her life and the safety of her family, the woman opened fire — seriously injuring Burnham. Authorities have confirmed it was self-defense, and the mother will not face any charges.
All three suspects have now been charged with aggravated burglary, and two also face vandalism charges.
The case is sparking conversation across Memphis and beyond — should more homeowners be prepared to protect themselves like this mother did?
