‘Making a point’: Florida woman follows suspected cheating boyfriend, shoots female in car

A Florida woman is accused of tracking down her boyfriend -- whom she allegedly believed was meeting with another woman -- and shooting her in a vehicle driven by the man, authorities said.

According to Brevard County Sheriff’s Office online booking records, Katherine Dale Kelly, 24, of Cocoa, was arrested on Saturday.

Brevard County online court records state that Kelly was charged with attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, shooting into an occupied vehicle and the use or display of a firearm in commission of a crime.

According to an arrest affidavit filed by the sheriff’s office, Dale told investigators she was trying to “make a point” when she suspected her boyfriend was cheating on her again.

According to an arrest affidavit, deputies responded to an address in Port St. John at about 2:34 a.m. ET after receiving a call about a shooting. Deputies discovered a woman suffering from a gunshot wound to her left shoulder and transported her to an area hospital.

Investigators learned that the woman and Kelly’s boyfriend were sitting in a gray Volkswagen Passat in an open field next to a residence, the affidavit stated. The victim told police that Kelly walked up to the vehicle and shot her through the front passenger window. Deputies interviewed Kelly, who said that the vehicle was hers and that her boyfriend took it without her permission, the affidavit stated. Kelly said she paid for an Uber to find her vehicle and carried a Glock 43 handgun in her purse. After finding the vehicle, Kelly said she approached it, assuming her boyfriend was in the vehicle. She added that as she approached the passenger side of the car, headlights came on and the vehicle began moving forward. At that point, Kelly said she removed the gun from her purse and fired a round in “self-defense,” the affidavit stated.

She later amended her story to deputies, stating that she wanted to “make a point” since she assumed her boyfriend “was cheating on her again.” Kelly added that she believed in “karma,” since the victim should have known that the man she was with had a boyfriend," the affidavit stated. Kelly’s boyfriend told deputies that she had given him permission to take the vehicle, and that he tried to evade her after receiving text messages and phone calls. Kelly remains in the Brevard County Jail without bail, online records show. She will appear in court for an arraignment on Nov. 24.

hell hath no fury like a Florida Woman scorned.

Using your main squeezes ride to get with your side squeeze is a perfect example of thinking with your little head. 😏

“”since the victim should have known that the man she was with had a boyfriend,””

THAT’S supposed to make sense?

Yeah I think she’s gonna have a intimate understanding of the Florida judicial system by the time she sees the world again without looking through bars.

Meanwhile, he gets to use her car , with or without ‘permission’ as he drives to his new Girlfriends home with cut flowers and Starbucks Cappuccinos so as to ‘assist her during recovery and feelings of helplessness’.

It’s very telling to me that she shot the other female and not the boyfriend.

He faintly recalls something she once said, at the time, he only heard it as a joke:

“Bobby, guess what I just bought today .... A Glock 43X.
I don’t care that it only holds 10 rounds.
The fact is, I got the gun so that I’m ready to shoot you if need be, but that’s only because I love you!”

Expect to see a lot more of this as fewer and fewer men bother to play the game.

Oh, she'd never hurt Chad, Pookie, or Ray Ray - but that other trollop? She's gotta go.

From the article: ...she assumed her boyfriend “was cheating on her again.”

again

She'll never leave him because she doesn't want to be an alpha widow.
