According to the Houston Police Department, the victim and Decembly had been dating for several months, which had recently ended.

In response, Decembly fired shots through the broken window, hitting a nearby parked vehicle. Afterward, armed with the gun, Decembly came out, pursued the victim, and fired at least two more shots. The victim sustained a gunshot wound to the hand during the altercation.
The victim, aged 22, was transported to a local hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.
Decembly was detained at the scene and charged by the Harris County District Attorney's Office for her involvement in the shooting.
