Husband Shot After Wife Orders Boyfriend To “Kill Him”

Officers in Memphis, Tennessee, responded to a shooting call in November on Bellevue Boulevard.

Now, they have arrested a suspect.

The victim disclosed to authorities that he was walking home when he witnessed his wife coming from the home with another male. He stated that all three of them then got into a vehicle to discuss the relationship between the suspect and the victim’s wife.

The victim stated that he was in the backseat when Martavious Taylor, 38, fired a gunshot at his head. Taylor then took the victim home in the wife’s vehicle and made him get out of the car.

Authorities say that Taylor shot the man in the leg and starting striking him with the gun in his face. He then forced his foot on the victim’s neck, saying,” I’m Martavious. Mac. Scooter.”
