A road rage confrontation led to a wild shooting incident on the feeder road of I-45 North near FM 1960. Video, widely shared on social media, captured a female firing two shots at another vehicle. A male accomplice is also seen in the footage.
Both were identified quickly, with the help of the online community. The public social media accounts of the two suspects were located and posted for others to freely contact. It’s not known if local authorities used this information to make the arrests.
An exclusive picture obtained and shared by Grizzy’s Hood News, shows Nazly Ortiz being placed under arrest by the Sheriffs Department.
Nazly Ortiz responded to one user, who reached out via private message with the following reply, “Me intentaron robar por favor” (They tried to rob me please).
Some used this opportunity to taunt the alleged culprits with witty imagery and dark humor. The public profiles of the suspects soon went private and commenting turned off. Hundreds of comments were being posted to their profiles referring to the shooting.
