Court records show that Neahna McKiever, 34, was charged with aggravated domestic battery, carrying a concealed weapon and discharging a firearm in public.
According to the police report, the victim got McKeiver in a headlock and McKiever pulled a gun. The victim managed to get the gun away from her, but in the struggle, McKiever wrestled the gun back, shot the victim once and fled.
Police said the whole incident was captured on video surveillance.
JSO has classified the woman’s death as a murder but McKeiver told JSO she wasn’t trying to kill the woman.
McKeiver is being held on $67,000 bond but that could increase as charges against her may be upgraded since the victim died.
