Noe Santillan Rincon Accused of Inappropriately Touching 5-Year-Old Shot 14 Times, 18-Year-Old Alishon Torres Charged with Murder
An 18-year-old woman in Memphis, Tennessee, is facing a murder charge after police say she shot a man multiple times following allegations that he had inappropriately touched a young child.
According to the Memphis Police Department, officers responded shortly before 2:00 a.m. on February 26, 2026, to reports of a person lying in the roadway in the Willowview area of Memphis.
When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was later identified as Noe Santillan Rincon.
Investigators determined that Rincon had been shot approximately 14 times and was pronounced dead at the scene.
As detectives began investigating the case, they traced Rincon’s final movements.
According to police, he had been staying at a residence with a woman who told officers that he left the home around 1:00 a.m., stating he was going to a nearby store.
A short time later, the woman reported receiving calls from Rincon’s phone. The caller, however, was not Rincon. Police say the person using the phone was her 18-year-old daughter, Alishon Torres.
Authorities later located Torres and brought her in for questioning. During the investigation, detectives say Torres described events that allegedly led to the fatal shooting.
According to court documents, three to four weeks prior to the incident, a 5-year-old girl reported that Rincon had touched her inappropriately. Police say Torres later encountered Rincon in the Willowview area and asked to borrow his phone.
Investigators allege that Torres then confronted Rincon about the accusation. During the confrontation, police say she shot him multiple times while the two were inside a van.
After the shooting, authorities say Torres drove the vehicle to an abandoned house, where she allegedly attempted to repaint the van in an effort to conceal evidence. She later left the vehicle at a nearby apartment complex.
Police say that when Torres was taken into custody, a handgun fell from her purse, which she admitted was one of the weapons used in the shooting. According to investigators, she also told detectives she had sold or given away a second firearm after the incident.
Torres has since been charged with murder in connection with Rincon’s death.
The case remains under investigation as authorities continue gathering evidence and reviewing the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
The case has sparked significant debate online and within the community. While some argue that individuals should not take the law into their own hands, others have expressed strong emotions regarding the allegations that preceded the deadly confrontation.
Legal proceedings will ultimately determine the outcome of the case as it moves through the court system.
Two people were killed and five others injured in a shooting at a downtown EZ’s Lounge early Saturday morning, according to authorities.
The shooting occurred at approximately 3:30 a.m. inside the bar located in downtown Oakland.
The Oakland Police Department said officers responded to reports of gunfire and discovered multiple victims at the scene.
Police confirmed that seven people were shot during the incident.
One victim, a 33-year-old woman identified as Teesh Bobo, died at the scene. Authorities said Bobo was a singer known in the local music community.
A second victim, a 25-year-old man, was transported to a hospital with critical injuries but later succumbed to those injuries around 11:30 a.m., officials said.
Five other individuals were wounded in the shooting.
At least three of those victims were hospitalized and listed in stable condition, while the conditions of the remaining injured individuals were not immediately released.
Investigators reported that several people were detained for questioning following the shooting, and multiple firearms were recovered at the scene as part of the ongoing investigation.
The Oakland Police Officers Association released a statement following the incident, expressing concern about continued gun violence in the city.
“The OPOA extends its deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones of those killed this morning in a senseless shooting in downtown Oakland,” the statement read. “Any loss of life to gun violence is a tragedy, and tonight our community is once again grieving.”
The association also called for greater support for law enforcement efforts and stronger cooperation from the community in addressing violence across the city.
The case is currently being investigated by the Homicide Section of the Oakland Police Department.
