Alleged FedEx shooter to be released from jail without bond
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - The man charged with attempting to kill someone outside the FedEx World Hub was released from jail without bond.
Tyreese Earnest is charged with attempted second-degree murder, employment of a firearm, reckless endangerment, and vandalism. He was identified as the shooter.
Earnest was originally given a $200,000 bond. However, his bond was later lowered to “released on his own recognizance.”
District Attorney Steve Mulroy says he disagrees with the decision.
The shooting happened in the early morning hours of October 30. At the time, FedEx officials referred to the shooting as “accidental.”
Ja‘Marcus Odell and Ja’Marion Odell are also charged with the facilitation of attempted second-degree murder in the case.
According to police, the three were looking inside the victim’s car through his window.
The victim said he was told “If you move imma shoot you,” before he was shot.
The man was shot multiple times in the arm and chest.
According to the arrest affidavit, the victim and three suspects were all FedEx employees at the time of the shooting. FedEx has yet to respond to Action News 5’s request, asking if the men are still employed.
