After the victim was discovered with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds to her back and arm, witnesses claimed that they had seen Jackson firing at the victim from a car.
“(A witness) observed Jackson, still wearing the black tank top, in the back seat hanging half her upper body out the open window,” the Orlando Sentinel reported.
“While Jackson was hanging out the window she was shooting a gun toward (the victim)… During this shooting (the witness) observed Jackson’s face and the muzzle fire from the gun in her hand.”
