MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) — An 18-year-old, Marquis Davis, has been charged with attempted first-degree murder after a Halloween robbery at a smoke shop on North Germantown Parkway turned into a shooting.

Shelby County Jail records show Davis was formally charged Sunday. Booking records indicate he remained in the hospital emergency room Monday night after being shot by law enforcement.

Davis faces counts of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated robbery and employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says Davis robbed employees at the Exotic Smoke Shop in the Dexter Ridge Shopping Center Friday afternoon. While inside, he allegedly shot a woman and then ran from the store; witnesses said he fled with cash.

Officers with the Memphis Safe Task Force were eating at a nearby restaurant when they received the call and pursued Davis. Witnesses reported he fired additional shots as officers intervened. TBI says officers shot Davis before detaining him.

Memphis police say the woman shot inside the smoke shop was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. The extent of Davis’ injuries has not been released. Bail and hearing information are not available at this time.
