A 17-year-old male is being charged with capital murder in the shooting death of a store clerk Monday morning, according to a news release from the office of Corinth Police Chief Ralph Dance.
Brooklyn Traylor is being charged in the death of Kris Ledlow, 43, of Corinth. She was shot several times while working as a clerk at the Mapco station on U.S. Highway 72 East at around 5:30 a.m., officials say.
Ledlow was pronounced dead at the hospital at around 6:30 a.m. Monday.
Traylor was identified as a suspect after investigators viewed surveillance tape, police say. Traylor was brought to the police department by his parents Monday, according to Chief Dance.
Traylor will be arraigned in city court Wednesday at 2 p.m.
A second suspect is still at-large, the news release says.
Police initially responded to the call at the gas station after a panic alarm sounded, and Ledlow was found shot several times, the news release says.
I always wondered as to why the boy shot her when the panic alarm went off. it only made the situation worst for his life.
