A Tennessee teenager has admitted to killing a Memphis couple and setting their apartment on fire.
A Memphis police officer heard multiple gunshots coming from an apartment complex in the 3500 block of Tall Oaks Circle.
Witnesses began yelling “It’s a robbery happening!”
The officer spotted Berryman running from the apartment and caught the teen after a foot chase.
Berryman told the police that there were two other people inside the apartment.
He said he “left them” there.
When arrested, Berryman had a loaded handgun, an AR-15, marijuana, prescription pills, and a bottle of lighter fluid.
Around a dozen adjoining apartment units were damaged from the fire, with a total damage estimate of $254,000.
Fire officials said ammunition exploded during the fire.
Berryman is slated to appear in court on Feb. 26.
The Allens celebrated Regina’s birthday just four days before the killings.
“I’m so hurt....may you both rest well in peace,” said one.
“RIp Regina. You will be truly missed,” said another user.
“I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Brandon & Regina!” said another.
