HOMESTEAD, Fla. — A Homestead woman is facing six felony charges after police said she shot two other women outside of a restaurant in the city late Friday night.

Investigators with the Homestead Police Department said Samantha Morales, 34, drunkenly opened fire after confronting the victims after they walked out of Dr. Limon Ceviche Bar, located at 2508 NE 10th Court ― within the large Homestead Pavilion shopping plaza.

According to police, the victims told investigators that after they “exited the restaurant and began to say their goodbyes,” Morales drove up in a Tesla and asked them whether they were “good” or “OK.”

An HPD report doesn’t state whether or how Morales knew the women.

After one of the victims replied, “Yes, I’m OK. Are you?,” police said Morales retorted, “Yes, b----. But it looks like you have a problem.”

Police said Morales opened her car door and pulled out a gun, asking, “What are you gonna do about it?”

After one of the victims asked Morales whether she was going to “intimidate” them with the gun, police said the group continued to argue until Morales opened fire, shooting two of the women.

According to the report, one of the women “lunged” at Morales in an effort to disarm her.

“The two then began to fight and were separated by the police,” a detective wrote. “The victim then noticed she was shot.”

Detectives said Morales told them that she “she did not remember the incident but claims she was fighting for her life” and “admitted to having three alcoholic beverages.”

Authorities arrested Morales on three counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and one count of using a firearm ― all felonies ― plus misdemeanor charges of improper exhibition of a firearm and using a firearm while under the influence of alcohol.

As of Monday, she remained behind bars at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center after a Miami-Dade judge ordered her held without bond.
