IT’S THE NAME GAME. KINGSPORT POLICE ARE UNSURE OF THE REAL NAME OF A SHOOTING SUSPECT IN THE MODEL CITY. AUTHORITIES HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR SHAMARKUS MASON SINCE OCTOBER FOLLOWING A SHOOTING INCIDENT A LEE APARTMENTS THAT LEFT A YOUNG GIRL AND ANOTHER MAN INJURED. MASON FAILED TO SHOW UP FOR HIS COURT DATE. POLICE FOUND MASON LAST WEEK AT THE SULLIVAN COUNTY JAIL. THEY KNEW HE HAD ALIASES BUT THAT DIDN’T KNOW THAT HE HAD ALREADY BEEN CAPTURED BY U.S. MARSHALS UNDER THE NAME SHAMARKUS MORELAN. MASON IS CHARGED IN KINGSPORT WITH ATTEMPTED FIRST DEGREE MURDER, POSSESSION OF A FIREARM BY A CONVICTED FELON AND POSSESSION OF COCAINE WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF A SCHOOL. HIS TWO IDENTITIES MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR SULLIVAN COUNTY AUTHORITIES TO CONFIRM HE WAS BACK IN CUSTODY. MASON HAS A PRELIMINARY HEARING SET IN GENERAL SESSIONS COURT ON FEBRUARY 5TH.
