A woman from Tennessee has been detained following an alleged attempt to murder her former partner after discovering him with another woman, as reported by police from the Volunteer State.

Twenty-year-old Ateariny Boyd faces charges including two counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of using a firearm during a dangerous felony, as well as vandalism resulting in damages between $2,500 and $10,000, and breaching bail conditions.

The altercation took place on February 18th along Driver Street in the South Memphis area of Memphis.

Authorities were called to the scene of a shooting early that morning, where they encountered two victims awaiting assistance, according to a police report sourced by Memphis-based CBS affiliate WREG.

The victims recounted to officers that they were at the man’s residence when, around 6 a.m., they were startled by loud banging on the windows and front door.

The female victim recounted hearing a woman outside, who was accusing her boyfriend of having another woman in the house, according to the police report.

When the yelling stopped, the victim heard glass break, authorities said. This noise caused the victim to walk outside where she allegedly saw Boyd hitting the windshield of her Volkswagen Jetta with what she described as a large piece of metal, according to law enforcement.

On top of that, the four tires on the car had been slashed and flattened, the victim told police. Still, the victim was able to get into her Jetta and drive away, police said. Once she left, however, the defendant allegedly followed her in a Nissan.

During the chase, Boyd allegedly pulled up beside the Jetta, rolled down her window, and fired several shots at the other woman — ultimately striking the rear of the vehicle, authorities said.

Once the bullets made contact with the car, the victim scrambled out of the driver’s seat, into the passenger seat, and out the passenger side door, police said. She jumped out of the Jetta just before the car ran into a wooden pole, according to law enforcement. Police estimated the total damage to the vehicle around $2,500.

During an interview with investigators, the man who lives in the house said that his ex-girlfriend came over and banged on the front door because he was with another woman. The man added that he heard a gunshot and went outside to see his girlfriend’s Jetta crashed into a wooden pole near the corner of Driver Street and Richmond Avenue.

The boyfriend said he then got in his vehicle and tried to back out but then saw Boyd park her vehicle, get out, and fire two shots before getting back into her Nissan and fleeing the scene, police said.

Two bullet casings were found in front of the man’s home, according to law enforcement.

The male victim later identified the defendant in a lineup, police said.

The defendant was arrested on Wednesday and is currently detained in the Shelby County Jail on $310,000 bond, records show.

She is slated to next appear in court on March 13.
