Police say 18-year-old Apondrea Marshall, 21-year-old Darnell Slaughter, and 19-year-old Calvin Suggs tried to rob Ivan Hightower’s home on 26th Avenue Saturday night. Hightower told police he looked out the window, saw the men with guns, and started shooting at them with his own weapon. Slaughter and Suggs were hit. Slaughter was treated and released, but Suggs is still in the hospital.
All three men are charged with attempted robbery. Hightower has not been charged with any crime.
