MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Police have identified a suspect they say fired shots at a man who caught him breaking into his car in East Memphis.

Carye Humphrey, 18, is wanted on a warrant for his arrest charging him with six counts of aggravated assault, burglary of a motor vehicle, and theft of a firearm less than $2,500, Memphis Police said.

Officers responded at noon Saturday to a call in the 4600 block of Poplar, near Perkins Extended.

A 9mm handgun was stolen from the Charger’s glove box, a police report stated.
