A man faces a reckless conduct charge after he shot a woman inside a car outside a Kroger shopping center in Grayson, police said.
It’s unclear what led Khalijah Cobourne to fire the shot, but Gwinnett County police Cpl. Michele Pihera said it was “an unintentional shooting.”
Police arrived at the store in the 1900 block of Grayson Highway about 8 p.m. Wednesday and saw two men crowded around a woman, Keyonna Jacobs, who’d been shot in the buttocks, according to a police report.
Jacobs’ boyfriend, Jerquis Miller, was driving the Chevrolet Sonic when the shot was fired.
Jacobs, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said she “heard a loud bang,” Gwinnett police Officer Robert Canale wrote in his report.
“She said she immediately felt a tremendous amount of pain in her back, which is when she realized that she was shot,” Canale wrote.
Jacobs was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center.
Miller’s cousin, Tyler Campbell, and two other men —Cobourne and Sincere Foster — were also in the car. Campbell was seated behind Miller, but it was not known which of the other two men were seated behind Jacobs.
Witnesses at the scene told police they saw Cobourne and Foster — with one of the men hiding a gun in a piece of clothing — leave the scene after the shot was fired.
Police began questioning Miller and Campbell, who both told police they did not have a weapon.
Authorities detained the two men and eventually found Foster and Cobourne, who was arrested after questioning. In addition to reckless conduct, he faces a weapons charge. He was given a $2,600 bond.
