A Miami woman initially counted herself blessed for having survived a drive-by shooting with what she alleges a doctor told her was just a graze wound. But days later Shakena Jefferson was rushed to a trauma center where an X-ray confirmed she had been walking around with a bullet lodged in her head, according to her family.
Detective Argemis Colome of the Miami-Dade Police Department told ABC News that the shooting unfolded about 7:30 p.m. last Tuesday in the southwest part of the city and left Jefferson and two other victims with gunshot wounds. "We're definitely looking into it as a very violent crime. We'll see if we get more information and if it does come to that then obviously there will be an additional charge that we can add," Colome said."As of now, we don't have enough to determine that. We're not discarding it, but we don't have enough right now to definitely make that an additional charge.
"The guy must have had an automatic weapon because I can still hear the gunshots in my ears, 'Pop, pop, pop, pop.' It wouldn't stop," Medley told ABC News.
