[00:27:30]They offered me to babysit today.

[00:27:33]That That last night.

[00:27:37]Came in, one of the kids was still asleep, one of the kids was still up.

[00:27:41]And after that, I was just on the couch just making sure everything's okay.

[00:27:45]Everything was nice and smooth, and then let's say at least 2 hours afterwards, I got a call from the victim that got shot.

[00:27:56]Saying, "Hey, I need your help.

[00:27:59]Can you come and help me, you know, pick me up from Walmart? The car that I was in ran out of gas." So, she needed me to pick her up and go to the gas station to go get the gas and go put gas in the vehicle.

[00:28:11]I don't know what to make of all of him, but and then I got another call from the person I shot with him.

[00:28:19]Saying, "Hey, I'm on my way. I had a boyfriend or one of her friends picked me up on the side of the road on Walmart on the 95. Picked me up for me and my kid. I'm like, 'Hey, what's going on?'"

[00:28:32]She's like, "Hey, the one that got shot, I guess her ex said something that she should talk to told her, 'Hey, he's outside the apartment. He has a firearm himself.' And I guess he's the person that he's talking to, he's coming up to the her apartment. Mhm. So um So I got that part. I said, "Okay, he's coming up to the apartment." And then he said there's police coming. Da da da da there's police coming. Mhm. I'm like, "Oh, you hear no sirens or I don't know if the guy's outside now." Um so and you know, the woman that shot her called me back. He said, "Hey, uh I fear for my son. The guy's talking crazy so I'm coming here to grab my son and that's it." Okay, so I went to go grab the guy. Mhm. I said, "Hey, what's going on?" She's just like um you know, her friend is her best friend is like, you know, he's trying her or what they say now. Her best friend is trying her. Her best friend says you know, going crazy or she explained like what she meant by trying her? It's just a old old friend I used to mess around with. He said that he's outside of his apartment. He have a gun. He's coming upstairs. And she said, "No, don't come upstairs." You know, you have people babysitting and she don't know why her friend is flipping out. Mhm.

[00:29:39]>> [clears throat] >> Um because now her friend don't feel like her her kids are safe, you know. So she's like, "I'm going to go." So as soon as I got here parked outside. I think my car's still running. And I said, "Hey, whatever we do, please don't fight." She's like, "I'm going to grab my kid." And that's it. She's like, "No, man, I'm fighting I'm going to fight him." I said, "For what?" Mhm. I'm just so confused. Like for what? You guys fighting over a guy or you guys know this guy? Who you guys fighting over?

[00:29:59]Mhm. As soon as she get in And that's the victim saying that? That she's going to fight her? Yes, she's going to fight him. I'm like, "For what?"

[00:30:10]Nobody's coming to take Nobody have You don't really have a key to get in unless you're owner." Mhm. You need a key to get in. You know what I'm saying? So I'll see what the owner say. So as soon as I get here the the the the shooter was already inside. She already got in. She was on the couch grabbing her son, grabbing everything. So I was like I was I stood right by the door.

[00:30:27]Mhm. I said, "Hey, you know, I see you guys are talking crazy. Please just you know, let's go. Make it easy. Go for them. I guess I'm done babysitting."

[00:35:46]15 Okay.

[00:35:49]That's pretty cool. Um So you came in. Yeah. What do you want to tell us? So um do you want to start to finish? So basically um we were out at a bowling alley after with a couple of friends or what not. After that I get a phone call from Lashay's current boyfriend. Um he was basically saying that he had a firearm on him and he was trying to get in the in the house. So me I'm was in fear of my life and my child's life. My son was there Start of my son was there. A guy named Jimmy, which is Shay's ex-boyfriend, he um said that he was going to watch the our little boys for us while we go to the bowling alley. So, he did that um after that or whatnot, I don't know what transpired between Shay and her current boyfriend, but he wasn't there at the time. So, he didn't know another guy was there. So, after that, he's calling my phone on Instagram and his name is Butter. They call it I I don't know his real name, I just know him from Butter.

[00:36:44]Okay. So, um he he was like that he has a gun on him.

[00:36:47]He's going to get in the house one way or another. I was telling my Shay, I'm like, my son is there and then your ex-boyfriend is there. That's not going to be good. We have to go. As I'm speeding to get home, the car cuts off the um what's in her house or whatever, the car cut off there cuz there was no gas. I didn't pay attention. So, I literally walked. I also took my firearm from but my purse was very small or whatnot, so I concealed it on my waist.

[00:37:09]And I was walking so I'm by myself. I'm just in fear. I'm trying to get to my kid for his safety. So, um as I get to where we were, some girl pick me up. She seen me walking, she gave me a ride to the residence or whatnot. My friend who does my hair, she does my hair downstairs. I knocked on the door. I mean, her window, she let me in.

[00:37:26]>> [clears throat] >> I go upstairs and I get my son and I'm I like I knocked on the door, it's not even the guy Jimmy who we left the kids with, it's some girl. I don't know her name. It's some girl or whatnot. Mind you, I was calling Jimmy, his phone was going straight to uh voicemail. His phone probably was on do not disturb. To warn him and let him know the guy Butter is trying to go come over there. You get what I'm saying? But, there I cannot get in touch with him at all. So, that's why I was in fear. Um my mind's everywhere and I didn't been in a situation in the past with like that and she you know, if you don't go through things, you don't have a sense of urgency for it. So, I get upstairs or whatever, I see my son, he's laying on the couch. Um I'm putting on his clothes. I don't even know why he was naked for one, but you know, I asked him cuz she like, are you okay? Nobody touch you? None of that. Next thing you know, as I'm putting on his clothes, Shay bust in bust in the door all going crazy talking about her boyfriend will never hurt. And I said, you don't know that. And her son is autistic. And I was like, neither can he defend himself and the person who's supposed to be watching our kids is not watching it. It's a girl that I guess that Jimmy knows. Jimmy wasn't there. So, Jimmy comes in with Shay. Well, when I see she's freaking, I'm scared for my life. She's going crazy and I know I'm in her house. So, as I'm trying to get out with my son, she stated like we're we're um going back and forth verbally. Then she hit me. So, we get into an altercation.

[00:38:41]After she fell or what not, I left her down trying to pick up my phone and my son's tablet. Mind you, my son is with me, but I told him to run before I seen it escalating. I then told him, "Run.

[00:38:51]Just go." Shay sees me going out the door and she put her hands on me. We got in an altercation. I picked up the um tablet and the phone. As I'm doing that, I'm not even knowing she's charging at me. I don't know what she has in her hand, nothing like that. I'm in fear.

[00:39:04]And she just start hitting me. After that, I draw. She wouldn't stop pounding me in my head and I just draw my gun and I shot one time. And yes, I did. I ran with my kid. He he was terrified. He was scared and crying. And he asked me, "Get up. Get up. Bleeding gun." And I tossed that. I shouldn't have did that, but I was so scared. I just wanted to get into safety. I was scared. I'm still just shaking. My baby's traumatized and I just wanted to get him home. And I took him to his grandmother's house. I went on foot and my aunt came and got me. And I didn't tell her much and she I just told her I needed her to come get me.

[00:39:34]And I took him to his um grandma and his father. And after that, I went home and I wanted to wait to talk to Mark Steiner, my lawyer, and to make sure that everything like cuz I'm in trouble.

[00:39:44]And he told me like I thought talking to him and he's like, "The best thing to do is go to the police." And then I tried to go get the um firearm, but I know it's 6:00 It was like 6:00 in the morning. The lady I know she's like, "It's a black girl coming to the door.

[00:39:57]She's not She's like, 'Whatever's back there is going to stay back there.'" So, then I tried the um Marcus like, "Try to go retrieve it." I contacted them cuz like for mutual parties and they said that you guys all picked it up or what not. So, I I don't know if that's true or or not cuz I tried to go retrieve it cuz I know how it looks and everything, but I was just in fear. She's attacking, coming at me. I don't know what she has.

[00:40:16]I have my son. And like me and her are real good friends. It should never got that far, but she didn't understand the principle. You have your ex-boyfriend here. Your current boyfriend says that he has a gun. I was in the messages. He says he has a gun on him. He's going to get into the house one way or another. I tried to call Jimmy. Jimmy's not answering phone. And then I see he's not even there. He comes I guess Shay might have called him.

[00:40:39]And he was out. The girl who said that I was speaking with the girl there and she was like that Jimmy been left. He like he left out or whatever left her there with the kids. I don't know this girl.

[00:40:48]I just thank God that my son is okay.

[00:40:50]Like I said, her son is autistic and I was just trying to get her to understand. Listen, your son is autistic. My son You get what I'm saying? He's sleeping. He doesn't know.

[00:40:58]We don't know this girl. Jimmy was supposed to be watching them. And like when Jimmy came in the house, all I told Jimmy I said, "Jimmy, do me a favor. I said, next time you can't watch our kids, say that. If it's not you watching them, you left them there to go do whatever you wanted to do. You could have just called us. We would have came home." But she was so But he would never hurt cuz I was walking and she got mad that I walked and left the car. The car has no gas in it. I got to get my kid.

[00:41:21]And she was mad about it. She's like, "But he would never do." I don't know where his mental at. He takes my phone saying he had a firearm. He's going to get in the house one way or another. I'm trying to go get my kid. That That was all. And she come rushing at me. You don't know what she have. When she fell, I'm just trying to get my baby's tablet and my phone so we can go. I couldn't leave my phone. All right. And that was that. All right.
