   MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man was taken into custody for allegedly raping and   
   robbing a woman in her home while her children were present in 2008.   
      
   According to Memphis Police, on November 2, 2008, a woman was setting up a   
   yard sale in Nutbush. While walking into her home, a man walked behind her   
   with a gun.   
      
   The suspect, later identified as Antonio Hughes, threatened to shoot her and   
   her 6-year-old son. She tried to resist, but Hughes pushed her inside.

   Antonio Hughes   
      
   Reports state that he fired the gun and then held it to her head. Hughes made   
   her take her son in the room with her other son.   
      
   Hughes demanded money and got $52. He then took the woman to the bedroom and   
   demanded sex, while holding the gun to her head.   
      
   Moments later, the woman’s family member found a pillowcase with DNA   
   evidence in the bushes nearby.   
      
   In August of 2021, the evidence was sent in for DNA testing. On February of   
   2023, the pillowcase came back positive and was forwarded to TBI.   
      
   On June 12, 2023, the DNA identified Antonio Hughes as the suspect.   
      
   In October, the victim was finally updated in her case and said she wanted to   
   prosecute.   
      
   Hughes was taken into custody Monday. He is charged with aggravated burglary,   
   aggravated rape and aggravated robbery. He is set to appear in court Tuesday.   
      
   We reached out to the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office and the   
   Memphis Police Department about the timeline of testing and if this case was   
   part of the rape kit backlog but haven’t heard back yet.
