Accident – Death – Obituary News :
The woman involved in a shocking incident where she fired shots into the air after a car crash near Humble has now been officially charged. Mykeria Mitchell, 21, faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful carry of a weapon in Harris County, Texas.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Mitchell is the individual seen in a viral video responding to a passing vehicle’s comment by firing two gunshots into the air. The video quickly spread across social media platforms, sparking outrage and concern.
The victim, who chose to remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation, revealed that the situation was even more terrifying than depicted in the video. “I have nightmares about it,” the 25-year-old victim shared. “It wasn’t just two shots, it was five shots.”
The gunfire erupted following a collision on the North Sam Houston Parkway East feeder road near Humble on May 14. The victim recounted being rear-ended and subsequently calling her family for assistance. Her mother and sister-in-law arrived at the scene and immediately called 911 for help.
As they awaited assistance, the victim’s relatives approached Mitchell to check on her well-being. However, instead of a civil exchange, they were met with gunfire. “I heard three shots. That’s when I saw my mom running towards me and my sister-in-law heading to her car,” the victim recalled.
According to the victim, Mitchell escalated the situation by pointing the gun at the passing vehicle and tapping on the victim’s window with the weapon. The sheriff’s office reported that Mitchell fled the scene but was apprehended shortly afterward. She has since been released on a $30,000 bond.
Despite the traumatic experience, the victim expressed gratitude that no one was physically harmed. “Once a bullet goes up, it comes down. Imagine if it hit somebody,” she reflected. “Imagine if she had killed me? My children would have been left without a mother.”
The court-appointed attorney for Mitchell declined to comment on the case at this time. The investigation into the incident continues as authorities work to ensure justice is served.
As this story unfolds, it serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers that can arise from confrontations on the road. It also highlights the importance of de-escalation and conflict resolution in tense situations to prevent unnecessary harm and violence.
