A Tennessee woman is behind bars after allegedly shooting a man more than a dozen times after learning he had been accused of sexually assaulting a child she’s related to.
Us Weekly has learned a Memphis police officer out on patrol February 26 came across an unresponsive man who was lying in the middle of the road shortly before 2 a.m.
A police spokesperson confirmed that the man — identified as Noe Santillan Rincon — was already dead after being shot 14 times, including once in the head.
Police learned that Rincon, 58, had been staying with Alishon Torres‘ mother, but that he’d left around 1 a.m. to go to the store.
The mother said she later started receiving calls from Torres, 18, from Rincon’s phone, police said.
Investigators gave no indication of what those phone conversations may have entailed.
Torres was tracked down and arrested on Thursday, March 5, for first-degree murder. While speaking with police, she allegedly said that a 5-year-old girl in her family had accused Rincon of touching them in a sexual manner three to four weeks earlier.
Police said that Torres and Rincon crossed paths as he was driving towards the store to pick up milk and rice, and she allegedly asked him if she could use his phone. That’s when she allegedly confronted him about the girl’s allegation. Cops claim soon after, she started firing into Ricon’s van.
Torres allegedly told investigators she actually took a picture of the bloody crime scene before pulling Rincon out of the driver’s seat and onto the street. She allegedly told police she drove the van to an abandoned house where she repainted it.
She said she then left the vehicle at an apartment complex with her boyfriend, who she insisted was not involved and knew nothing about the killing.
Relatives ended up at the scene and identified the body.
Police allegedly found a gun as it fell out of Torres’ handbag, and she admitted it was one of two guns she had used in the shooting.
Torres told investigators she sold or gave the other gun away that was used to kill Rincon.
