The victim, having been targeted in what appears to have been a drive-by shooting, spoke to police officers upon their arrival, revealing her car’s rear window had been shattered by bullets.
The confrontation began with a verbal dispute and escalated alarmingly as the victim was followed by the suspect to the intersection of N. Cassady Ave. and Cassady Ln. It was here that multiple shots were fired in the direction of the victim, with at least one stray bullet striking an occupied house nearby.
