Man shot twice in head in S. Monroe parking lot shooting was an unintended target, records say
Leon County Sheriff's deputies arrested a suspect involved in a shooting that hospitalized one man Wednesday evening.
D'Sondra Ford, a 26-year-old woman, was charged with two counts of attempted homicide, according to court records.
Deputies responded to a parking lot in the 2500 block of South Monroe Street where they found the man in the passenger seat of a silver car with two gunshot wounds in his head just after 7:30 p.m.
He was rushed to the hospital and, as of Thursday morning, was alert and communicating, said LCSO spokesperson Angela Green, before adding that the investigation is ongoing.
In an interview with the injured man's girlfriend, who was at the scene, she told deputies a verbal altercation began between her and Ford, an affidavit said.
At some point, the woman threw a sandal at Ford's vehicle. Then, Ford "exited her vehicle with a firearm and began shooting at (the woman)," who ducked for cover, according to court records.
The woman — standing in front of the passenger side of her car, where her boyfriend was sitting — soon realized he was shot and began rendering aid.
Ford left the scene and was soon arrested by LCSO deputies.
In an interview with investigators, Ford said the argument stemmed from the fact that both women were romantically involved with the injured man, court records said.
"Based on the physical evidence and witness statements, it is apparent (the woman) was the intended target of (Ford)," read an affidavit.
Since Jan. 1, there have been at least 68 shootings in Tallahassee, resulting in at least 42 injuries and 12 deaths, according to a running count of gun violence by the Tallahassee Democrat.
