FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A woman grinned big in her Broward County booking photo after police said she had just opened fire on someone and his vehicle while working at a food store in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday. Authorities said the victim’s 1-year-old was inside the car at the time.
Latoya Shanee Friday, 44, is facing two aggravated assault charges.
According to the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, the incident happened at around 2 p.m. at Primo’s Stop, located at 2420 NW 19th St., just west of Rock Island Elementary School.
An FLPD report states that the victim entered the store while Friday was working, got into a verbal dispute with her and then left.
According to police, the victim had gotten into his car and was about to get out and confront Friday for a second time when she “exited the store and began firing a pistol” towards him and his vehicle.
Neither the man nor his child, sitting in the back seat, were hit, but the car had several bullet holes in it.
Police said they took Friday into custody and to jail. As of Monday evening, she was being held in the Broward Sheriff’s Office Paul Rein Detention Facility in Pompano Beach on a $30,000 bond.
