3 charged in murder of Memphis couple

MEMPHIS — Memphis police say they have charged three men in the deaths of a couple found dead by their 7-year-old daughter.

The girl called 911 in after waking up April 24 to find her parents had been shot. She told the 911 operator that she was home with her younger siblings, and she couldn't wake up her parents. Police arrived to find James and Danielle Alexander dead.

A statement from police says 18-year-old Kendrick Stark and 21-year-old Devin Gary were each charged Tuesday with two counts of murder in perpetration of a theft. Police arrested 25-year-old Ricky Durham on Monday on the same charges.

It wasn't immediately clear whether the men have attorneys. Durham is due in court Wednesday.
