Officers said they found several items belonging to Tillman in the boy's pockets and other items of the man's at the youth's home a block away. The teenager was charged with felony burglary and larceny."


Alabama man shot dead after kicking in door: "A 20-year-old man was shot and killed early Sunday after he kicked down the front door of another man's home in Creola, authorities said. In Creola, the two men had been arguing over the phone before Justin Cox went to the home just off U.S. 43 and kicked the door off its hinges, said Cpl. Gary Davis of the Creola Police Department. Ronnie Freeman, who was at home with his wife and baby, shot Cox with a rifle, Davis said. So far, Freeman does not face any criminal charges, Davis said. Investigators believe Cox intended to hurt Freeman, Davis said. The case remains under investigation and will be presented to a Mobile County grand jury, Davis said. Cox had attended Satsuma High School but did not graduate, his mother said. He was working as a landscaper in Pensacola, she said."
