Two males kicked open an apartment door in Memphis last week and began beating a man in a bedroom — but the victim fought back and turned the tables in lethal fashion. WREG-TV said the incident took place around 4:40 a.m. Tuesday. 'I bet he doesn't do that again.' Citing an arrest affidavit, WMC-TV reported that Devonta Johnson and Zarian Sanders went to an apartment on Madewell Street to see the mother of Johnson’s child. The pair allegedly kicked open the front door, which had been barricaded with a couch, WMC said. Investigators told WMC the two men entered a bedroom and began beating a male victim. During the attack, Johnson pulled out a handgun, WMC said, adding that a struggle over the weapon ensued, and the victim managed to shoot Johnson.
