Dixon remains at large while Briscoe and White are in custody, according to police.

The three are accused of forcing entry into retired Capt. Charles Austin’s residence at about 11:40 p.m. Tuesday in the 4100 block of Jackson Street, police said. Once inside, the three came in contact with Austin, who was subsequently shot.
Police were called to the residence for a home invasion and while en route, a dispatcher told officers the caller had been shot, police said.

As of Thursday afternoon, Austin, age 65, was in stable condition and is expected to recover.
