Police arrested a man after he allegedly shot the mother of his child during a custody dispute.
Otis Leevel Johnson, 24, fired a gun at the victim, a man, and another woman Tuesday morning at an apartment on Northwest 78th Terrace and Northwest 3rd Street, Pembroke Pines Police said. Johnson has a previous relationship with the victim, and they share a child.
During the exchange of gunfire, the victim was struck. Police have not released details about the extent of her injuries, but her aunt confirmed she is 23 years old and recovering at the hospital. The other man returned fire but no one else was hit.
Police later stopped Johnson’s vehicle in the 6200 block of Hollywood Boulevard and took him into custody. He faces charges of first-degree attempted murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
