An armed Walgreens employee shot at a pregnant woman in the parking lot of the store after accusing her of shoplifting, forcing her to undergo an emergency C-section.
Mitarius Boyd, 21, a team leader at the store was informed that two women were stealing from the store in Nashville, Tennessee, on April 12.
He claims that he saw the women placing items into a store cart and bag, and followed them as they exited the store and filmed them.
Boyd was reportedly caught on surveillance footage shooting Travonsha Ferguson, 24, multiple times with his semi-automatic pistol after he was sprayed with mace, it is alleged.
She was forced to have an emergency C-section, with her seven-month-old baby being delivered two months early.
Both Ferguson and her child remain in hospital, in a critical but stable condition accruing to Metro Nashville Police Department.
The women started to place items they had allegedly stolen in the trunk of the car before the shooting, with Boyd explaining that he was in fear and didn’t know if they were armed.
A second female drove Ferguson to the General Hospital and left, with the pregnant woman being transferred to Vanderbilt.
A spokesman for Metro Nashville Police Department said: ‘Boyd cooperated with detectives. His gun was seized and detectives are in possession of his cell phone.
‘At the completion of the investigation, detectives will staff their findings with the District Attorney’s Office for a determination as to whether Boyd will face charges.’
Boyd was previously arrested in October 2023 for causing a disruption n a Nashville Best Buy store after he was unable to buy a PS5.

This is how things like “food deserts” happen.
“ Boyd was previously arrested in October 2023…”
Minority Report is real.
The guy is toast.
Ah, the feminine mystique.
“Travonsha Ferguson”
Ah..the hair hatted hooligans!
Any relation to Turd?
Pregnant Trayvonsha maced Mitarius so he shot her, while she was shoplifting at Walmart in Nashville.
The revolution is here.
The country is post-political and now it is a violent evil revolution against God and morality, life threatening spiritual jeopardy.
Travonsha

“ Boyd was previously arrested in October 2023…” Minority Report is real.
Don’t go judging other for their choice of personal participles. /s
‘Walgreens’, but your point is valid.
I haven’t shopped there since their ‘Anything Goes’ Bathroom Policy was instated...going on FOUR years now, I think? And I was a Weekly Shopper at Walgreens.
Ugh! It’s bad enough that I have to share a bathroom with a man AT HOME, LOL!
Ladies? You KNOW what I’m talkin’ about! ;)
Life will go on in the hood.
Mitarius Boyd, 21, a team leader
Shooting shoplifters probably does not fall under team leader duties
Zero sympathy for “mom”. I feel bad for the kid having her as a mom though.
Not if I’m on the jury.
What? Or perhaps, double what?
Wouldn’t using mace in a robbery make it armed robbery?
Has Wokegreens fired the worker, yet?
It depends upon the circumstances as to whether it's considered self defense. If she was stealing (let's be honest, she almost certainly was) and he followed her out to confront her then she sprayed him with Mace, which would count as assault on her part, then under the law he could be justified in defending himself.
How is October 2023 previous?
It is in the future.
