Corthoris Jenkins allegedly fired 8 rounds, alleged burglar has been hospitalized
A Florida man who allegedly shot a burglar as he apparently begged for his life is facing an attempted murder charge.
Corthoris Jenkins, 28, was playing video games in his North-Miami Dade apartment Tuesday when Xavier West allegedly broke into the efficiency unit, the Miami Heraldreported. Jenkins grabbed an assault-style rifle and chased West, who was unarmed, from the home, prosecutors said.
Jenkins is accused of shooting West several times while he was on his knees. It was unclear if the men knew each other.
“He begins to, what appears to be, to beg for his life,” Miami-Dade Detective Iry Watson told a judge Wednesday afternoon. “But the defendant takes the assault rifle and shoots him multiple times.”
West remains "incubated" in a hospital, Watson said.
