MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) – A woman charged in a fatal shooting that killed a toddler and injured her mother Friday will appear in court Monday.
This is the first court appearance since 19-year-old Juanita Bruce turned herself in over the weekend as her mother remains in hospital.
The incident happened Friday afternoon on Breedlove Street in the New Chicago area.
A police report shows the incident began with an argument between Bruce and another woman, before Bruce pulled a gun from her purse and shot and killed a woman and her toddler and grazed another woman nearby.
The 1-year-old died at the scene.
The Memphis Police Department says Bruce left the scene in a gray Infiniti but turned himself in hours later.
They face nine counts, including first-degree murder and four counts of attempted first-degree murder.
Bruce admitted to shooting a woman when he turned himself in Friday evening, but said he had no intention of shooting the 1-year-old girl, the affidavit said.
