Teenage intruder fatally shot
by homeowner
Originally ran here
as: ANDERSON, INDIANA -- An Anderson man
fatally shot a 16-year-old intruder in his Brentwood subdivision home late
Wednesday, police said. Deonte D. Mitchem of the 2000
block of Kerwood Drive was shot in the chest and died at the scene, said
Anderson Police spokesman Sgt. Mitch Carroll. Mitchem's alleged accomplice,
Michael K. Watson, 19, of the 2000 block of Euclid Drive, was arrested and
charged with burglary, Carroll said. Madison County Prosecutor Rodney
Cummings will review circumstances of the shooting, Carroll said. The shooting occurred shortly
before midnight in the home of Charles Christopher House, 19, 1600 block of
Euclid Drive, Carroll said. He said burglars took compact discs from the
residence a few days ago. House told police he received an
anonymous tip Wednesday night from a caller who identified Watson as a suspect
in the earlier break-in. House told police he was walking to a friend's home
when he passed Watson and Mitchem walking toward his residence. House circled back to his home and
heard glass breaking and someone inside the residence, Carroll said. House told
investigators he unlocked the front door and saw someone run into a bedroom and
slam the door. Carroll said House tried to open
the bedroom door, struggling with the intruder who was holding on to the
doorknob on the other side. House told investigators he pulled a handgun from
his back pocket and fired twice through the door. He then opened the door,
reached in and fired another shot. Carroll said officers located
Watson later and arrested him on a Class B felony burglary charge. NOTICE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.
