 On June 6th, around 10:25 p.m., Evansville Police Officers were dispatched to Dress Plaza (100 NW Riverside Dr.) in reference to a male who fired a handgun. The witness gave a good description of the male suspect and vehicle that he was in. Officers responding to the run observed the vehicle leaving the scene and initiated a traffic stop at Lloyd/Main St.Â
Once the vehicle was stopped, officers gave verbal commands to the three occupants inside the vehicle. The driver and one of the passengers cooperated with officers and listened to their commands. The back passenger, identified as 24-year-old Khalil Titington, did not cooperate. Titington was extremely uncooperative with officers and matched the description of the shooting suspect. Officers gave Titington multiple commands and he refused to listen. Titington even pulled away from officers when they were trying to take him into custody. Eventually, officers were able to take Titington into custody without further incident.Â
Officers located a handgun in the area of the vehicle where Titington had been sitting. It was determined that Titington had been in a verbal argument with the other passenger inside the vehicle and he was the one who had fired the handgun. Luckily, no one was injured. Titington had been consuming alcoholic beverages and was intoxicated.Â
Titington was arrested and transported to the Vanderburgh County Confinement Center. He was charged with Possession of a Firearm by a Serious Violent Felon, Criminal Recklessness with a Deadly Weapon, Resisting Law Enforcement, Public Intoxication, and Disorderly Conduct. Titington also had an active extradition warrant for Aggravated Assault with a Handgun out of Tennessee.Â
