A woman says she shot and killed a man Monday because she was afraid for her life, but an eyewitness is telling a much different story.
According to Harris County homicide investigators, a minor accident spilled over into the gas station parking lot.
The 23-year-old woman behind the wheel of a silver sedan told them the young man walked up to her car and was yelling and beating on her window.
He grabbed for her door and she grabbed her gun and fired.
Leticia Quinones is her attorney. "It was at that point that she feared for her life where she felt like she was in fear of serious bodily injury," said Quinones. "It was imminent of death and she defended herself."
There was a passenger in the victim's pickup, who also gave a statement to detectives. The victim hasn't yet been identified.
We didn't identify the shooter, a young mother, because she's not been charged.
Her attorney says she does have her concealed handgun license and is traumatized by the day's events.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office has already said there's enough gray area in the case that they're going to leave it up to a grand jury whether or not the woman is charged.
