Florida Woman Charged with Attempted Murder After Shooting Ex-Boyfriend’s Female Passenger

A woman from Florida has been taken into custody for allegedly shooting a female passenger in a vehicle driven by her ex.

Latorray Collins, 38, faces charges of attempted murder related to the incident involving her former partner.

According to the arrest report, the ex-boyfriend informed law enforcement that he had recently ended his relationship with Collins. On the day of the shooting, she made numerous calls and sent texts, urging him to retrieve his belongings. He mentioned that he had advised her to “discard the items” as he did not wish to keep them. He also told officers he planned to go out that evening with another woman, his former girlfriend, along with some friends and family members in a black Mitsubishi. While in route to a restaurant on King Street, he chose to ignore several calls from Collins.

The ex-boyfriend reported that he stopped at a traffic light at the intersection of Edgewood Avenue and Post Street. While waiting for the light to turn green, he saw Collins’ vehicle maneuver around the passenger side of his car and abruptly cut in front of him, obstructing his path.

He then reversed his car and swerved around Collins’ vehicle, only to discover she was still tailing him down Post Street.

The man stated that Collins exited her car and began banging on their windows, resulting in a confrontation as he urged her to leave.

At that moment, the victim inquired about Collins’ identity, and the man expressed concern that the situation could escalate into violence as the passengers in the other car got out. Soon after, there was a “loud noise,” and the female passenger collapsed to the ground.

Officers located a .380 caliber shell casing near the injured woman.

Collins was arrested at the scene and charged with attempted second-degree murder.
