One woman was hospitalized and another woman is now facing charges after an argument on TikTok led to a shooting in Miami, police said.<\/p>\n
The incident happened Tuesday night when authorities responded to a ShotSpotter alert in the 1100 block of Northwest 57th Street and found the victim nearby with a gunshot wound to her leg, an arrest report said.<\/p>\n
The victim was hospitalized in stable condition.<\/p>\n
Officers also found six bullet casings and spoke with a witness who said the shooting started with a fight at Miller Dawkins Park at Northwest 8th Avenue and Northwest 48th Street.<\/p>\n
The witness, the victim and another witness went to the park to meet up with other females to fight over ongoing arguments held through TikTok Live, the report said.<\/p>\n
After the fights, the victim and witnesses walked to the victim’s house, where the witness believed they were followed, and a short time later they received a call or text to come outside and continue fighting, the report said.<\/p>\n
They went outside and got into a verbal argument with a group that had arrived and at one point, a man in the group who was wearing a mask reached into his waistband, the report said.<\/p>\n
The witness said she started running then heard gunshots, and after the shooting she found the victim screaming with a gunshot wound to her leg.<\/p>\n
Surveillance footage showed the man pull out the gun and point it at a group before he holstered it and started walking away, the report said.<\/p>\n
The footage then showed the suspect, 41-year-old Celia Penichet Lopez, shooting at the man before the man returned fire, hitting the victim, the report said.<\/p>\n
Penichet Lopez later told investigators the man fired first so she returned fire, but when she was shown the surveillance footage she admitted she fired first, the report said.<\/p>\n
“After reviewing the surveillance footage and the offender’s statement, it was determined that the male was not a threat and was actively removing himself from the area when the defendant decided to discharge her firearm at him,” the report said.<\/p>\n
Penichet Lopez was arrested Wednesday on a charge of aggravated battery with a weapon causing bodily harm. She was booked into jail and was being held without bond, records showed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One woman was hospitalized and another woman is now facing charges after an argument on TikTok led to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":364840,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-364839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=364839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364839\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/364840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=364839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=364839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
