On April 14, officers say they responded to a shooting call at 2 a.m. at the Greenbriar Apartments in Frayser. A male was found shot in the leg.
The female victim told police her friend Kayla Wells came over to her house to talk about her boyfriend, who was not present at the scene. She also stated that Wells lives in the same apartment complex.
When the conversation between the female victim and Wells got heated, they stepped outside and began to argue.
