The victim was able to tell deputies that Blair fired the shots, records show. After being treated for injuries, deputies further questioned the victim about what happened.
The man said he received a call from a woman who was Blair’s live-in girlfriend to pick her up so they could “hang out”.
The victim said he drove onto Kittles Street on his moped to pick up the woman, deputies said. As the pair drove, the woman noticed a car coming up behind them and said, “Oh [expletive]It’s junior,” records show.
Blair then chased the pair on a moped, forcing the victim to run into the grass and letting the woman get off before taking off again, deputies said.
The victim told investigators he heard two loud pops and felt gunshots hit his back before returning to his home where the victim’s roommate called 911.
Blair is charged with firing a firearm from a vehicle, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and attempted murder.
