I think the police caught one of them and looking for another.

A 36-year-old man, arrested Saturday in connection with the death of a woman outside a Cordova home Aug. 1, allegedly planned to commit a theft when the shooting occurred.

Anthony Olivo was arrested early Saturday and charged with first-degree murder following an investigation by the Memphis Police Department’s homicide bureau in the Aug. 1 killing of Susan McDonald. She was shot outside a friend’s home in the 8400 block of Bazemore.

According to an affidavit, a witness identified Olivo and he gave a statement that he and someone else “had planned to commit a theft and were in the act of attempting the theft” when McDonald was shot.

She was found about 6 a.m. next to her vehicle shot in the face. She died on the scene. Family reported she had been there to pick up a friend for a race at Overton Park.

According to a source familiar with the investigation, McDonald was armed at the time of the incident. McDonald had time to pull her weapon, the source said, but was unable to fire the gun.

The McDonald family contributed $25,000 to a reward for information leading to an arrest and set up a GoFundMe page. CrimeStoppers offered an additional $1,000.

Olivo pleaded guilty in September 2007 to possession of cocaine with the intent to manufacture, sell or deliver and guilty to being a felon in possession of a handgun. According to an affidavit, he was in a car at IHOP on Showcase Road and Perkins with a brown paper sack of cocaine and a handgun, which was reported stolen.

He was sentenced to four years on the drug charge and two years on the gun charge, according to court records. In December 2008, a petition to suspend the remainder of a sentence was granted, according to court records. His release date was not known Saturday.

He also pleaded guilty in September 2004 to possession of marijuana with the intent to manufacture, deliver or sell and was sentenced to one year.

His prior address was in the 3800 block of Warrington Cove in the area of Winchester and South Mendenhall. He is scheduled for court Monday.

This piece of **** should not have been walking the streets at all, but of course, he was. I hope they plug in ol' Sparky and let him fry.

That sorry sack of SH.

Still think there is more to this story....

Like what? I would really like to know since I can walk to that house from my door in less than 3 minutes.

I've heard he followed her from an ATM.

That does not seem to justify the mysterious inference.

Following from an ATM would simply be part of the selection process, not 'more to the story.' This implies that the simple facts of the case that have been revealed so far are only part of the story...in other words, there is an implication of something nefarious, that someone else may have been involved and it was more than a simple robbery.

I'm not saying this is true, and from what I know of the case it seems to be just somebody with no knowledge implying something nasty for their own gratification, but perhaps they know something the rest of us don't. If that's true, then let them say so and I will take back my statement.

Gotcha. I wasn't following the thread.

I have made it a habit to never pull into my driveway if there is a car following me, esp. at night. A simple loop around my block makes me feel better.

Memphis police confirmed Sunday that a second person of interest in the death of a Germantown woman outside a Cordova home is in custody.

Susan McDonald was shot and killed Aug. 1 in front of a home on Bazemore Road in an apparent robbery.

Anthony Olivo, 36, was arrested Saturday and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the slaying. He gave a statement that he and someone else “had planned to commit a theft and were in the act of attempting the theft” when McDonald was shot.

A police spokeswoman said the second person of interest is currently in jail on unrelated charges. No charges have been filed against him yet in the McDonald case.

Legality question...

If you're planning to do a theft (i.e. commit a crime) and you kill somebody during that crime can that be justification for 1st degree?

I was wondering the same. I want everything thrown at him if possible. But I don't want them to over-reach and make prosecuting harder.
