Atlanta Woman Shot After Ignoring Man’s Catcalls
An Atlanta couple were riding scooters near Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia last week when a man began catcalling the woman from a Black Dodge Charger according to Atlanta’s CBS affiliate reports.
Meairra Mansara and her boyfriend, Juwan Davis were enjoying their day before the next tragic events happened. Davis stepped in to tell the man to stop verbally harassing Mansara and when things turned violent. Witness Samuel Savage says the man fired about five shots at Mansara and Davis while they tried to flee on the scooters. One bullet hit Manara in her shin and shattering her tibia.
“From the distance I see someone go down,” Savage said. “It was really heartbreaking. She was screaming, she was crying, and she kept grabbing her phone to call her mom.”
The fire department later arrived to aid the wound before emergency workers arrived at the scene. The victim’s mother says that Mansara will now have a permanent rod placed in her leg and will require at least six weeks of physical rehab. Davis wasn’t injured during the shooting.
Police have yet to release details about the dispute leading up to the shooting and are still searching for the suspect. However, residents agree that whoever opened fire on the woman isn’t the type of citizen that belongs in Atlanta.
“It’s definitely a cowardly act to try and shoot somebody just because they don’t want to talk to you,” another witness Leshon Jones told the news station. “Take your licks and just go on there to someone else… Don’t take it out on someone who rejected you.”
