FLORIDA CITY, Fla. — Florida City police arrested a woman earlier this month for a shooting that occurred last summer.

Police have since charged Mykerria Tillman, 19, with several crimes related to the shooting.

The incident happened on July 14 of last year at a townhome along the 900 block of Southwest Sixth Place.

According to police, the victim was inside his home when he heard someone knocking on the sliding glass door.

When he approached the door and opened the blinds, police said the person outside, who was wearing a black mask, fired several shots through the door, striking the victim twice in the chest.

Responding officers processed the scene and said they recovered three spent shell casings that came from a 9mm gun while the victim was airlifted to Jackson South Medical Center for further treatment.

The following month, detectives interviewed the victim and said he was “adamant that the person who knocked on the sliding glass door was a female because the person had ‘t---ies,’” while adding that he knew who the female was but did not know her name.

Several months later, police said the victim contacted detectives and told them he had found out the name of the person who shot him and that the suspect had been arrested by Homestead police for a robbery at a Publix a few days prior.

Detectives were able to identify the suspect as Tillman, and the victim picked her photo out of a line-up, according to an arrest form.

Police than went to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where Tillman was being held, to speak with her about the shooting.

After being told why officers were there to talk to her, police said Tillman told them, “I don’t wanna talk to you, I didn’t shot nobody.”

Tillman was arrested on charges of attempted murder while already facing charges for robbery with a deadly weapon, removing or altering the serial number of a firearm and resisting arrest.

She remains behind bars at TGK, where her bond is listed as “to be set” for the attempted murder charge.
