Burglary Suspect Shot Dead At Lake Murray Home

SAN DIEGO – Authorities released the name Thursday of a burglary suspect who was fatally shot while allegedly attacking a Lake Murray man with a knife in the victim's home.

The resident's adult son opened fire on the suspect, Hollis Forman, 38, after finding his 54-year-old father being assaulted at the family's residence in the 6300 block of Lake Shore Drive on Tuesday morning, according to police.

Patrol officers responding to the home invasion and shooting shortly before 6:30 a.m. arrived to find the victim on the floor of the house, suffering from stab injuries to his upper body, and Forman dead in a backyard swimming pool, Lt. Anthony Dupree said.

Paramedics took the wounded homeowner to a hospital, where he was admitted in stable condition.

Homicide detectives determined that the deadly encounter occurred when the burglary was interrupted, according to Dupree.

"The (intruder) began assaulting the homeowner, at which point the homeowner's 20-year-old son retrieved a firearm and shot the intruder," the lieutenant said. "(Forman) ran out the back door and landed in the pool."
