A man has been arrested in connection with a Harrison home invasion that led to the homeowner shooting and killing one of the alleged intruders.

Shakur Lovelady, 23, was arrested Thursday and charged with second-degree murder, aggravated burglary, criminal conspiracy and possessing a firearm during a felony, court records show. He is set to appear in court April 16. In Tennessee, defendants can face murder charges if their felonious conduct results in someone’s death.

Lovelady was one of three people who allegedly broke into a home March 26 on Shirley Pond Road, according to an affidavit.

One of the others, David Baker, was killed by the homeowner. Deputies found a gunshot wound in his chest, a report stated.

Two nights before, there was a burglary at the same home, in which eight guns were stolen, the homeowner told Hamilton County deputies, according to the affidavit.
