SOUTH DAYTONA, FL – A domestic dispute involving a love triangle escalated into a shooting incident in South Daytona, Florida, police say. The incident occurred on the evening of November 4, when a woman allegedly fired multiple shots at a car containing a one-year-old child.
According to the South Daytona Police Department, Zehra Percy, 20, was seen exiting an apartment with a man identified only as Deonte. As Deonte’s girlfriend and his one-year-old daughter left the scene in a car, an unidentified individual shouted a warning about a gun.
Percy, identified as the shooter, reportedly ran to a Silver Accura, opened the trunk, and fired several shots in the direction of Deonte’s girlfriend’s car. Authorities have described Percy as Deonte’s mistress and claim the firearm used in the incident belonged to her sugar daddy.
The firearm was later recovered during a traffic stop involving Percy. Surveillance footage from the scene allegedly shows Percy firing twice in the direction of the fleeing vehicle. Police found two shell casings at the scene, but no injuries were reported.
Witnesses informed the police that Percy and the woman had a confrontation prior to the shooting. Percy has been charged with shooting into a vehicle and was released from jail on a $5,000 bond.
