MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man was shot dead in Mason, Tennessee and four people are charged with his murder, the Tipton County Sheriff says.
Deputies responded just after 8 p.m. Wednesday to the 4400 block of Mason Charleston Road, where a man had been found with a gunshot wound, Tipton County Sheriff Shannon Beasley said.
Deputies and EMS began life-saving procedures but were not able to save the victim. He was identified by authorities as Anthony Moore, 44, who was the homeowner.
Investigators found signs of forced entry into the home and by Thursday, had detained four suspects.
Each has been arrested and charged with 1st Degree Murder in Perpetration of Especially Aggravated Burglary and is being held with no bond. They are:
- Darel Darrell Darnell (34) of Oakwood, TN
- Zyun Marrell Glass (23) of Covington
- Maurice Taylor, Jr. (24) of Covington
- Sarah Pauline Ewing (39) of Covington

“This is a very sad and tragic incident and an absolute senseless killing,” Beasley said. “It’s bad enough that anyone would plan to rob or steal from someone but to kill another human being over property, especially in their own home, is beyond sickening.”
