On Nov 12, Lee and his girlfriend were attending a party where Lee’s girlfriend got into an argument with another woman. The woman and four other people got into a car and started to drive away. Witnesses heard Lee’s girlfriend tell Lee to shoot at the car. Lee then fired eight shots at the car.
The bullets he fired entered the rear window and trunk of the car, and one bullet struck one of the other women in the group in her side and back. The driver of the car drove to the hospital, where doctors treated the wounded woman.
Norfolk Police officers found Lee at a nearby fast-food restaurant several hours later and arrested him. A search warrant at his home recovered the gun, as well as the clothes he was wearing when he committed the shooting.
