Two Jacksonville, Fl. women, reportedly once friends, took drama that brewed online, offline, and in the end, a mother has lost her child, and the other will most likely lose her freedom. According to WJXT-TV, pregnant 23-year-old Markeisha Brooks went to the home of Virginia Wyche on Wednesday to speak to her about statements that were made on Facebook that she wasn’t happy with, as the women actually argued on the social media site the night before. It’s unclear whether or not Brooks was invited by her former friend to come by to settle things, or if she went solely in anger to confront Wyche. It’s also unclear what happened when she got there, but things escalated and got physical between the women. At some point in this melee, Wyche was able to get her hands on a gun, and she shot the pregnant woman in her abdomen.
Video was actually taken of Brooks as she waited for the ambulance, and she was seen bent over, bleeding from her stomach, with individuals in the neighborhood coming to her aid, rubbing her back. The woman was taken to the hospital and is critical condition, but she lost her child. She was six months pregnant. As for Wyche, the 35-year-old woman was confronted by the victim at her mother’s home when she ended up shooting her. Wyche has been taken into custody and charged with murder. According to the New York Daily News, she is being held on $1 million bond. Her mother, Lillian Jordan, told WJXT that she couldn’t believe the news of her daughter’s arrest, saying that she must have been attacked or provoked because her kids weren’t raised to be have so recklessly.
“My son called me and I was very disturbed about this because this is not the way I was raised, and they was not raised like that. Somebody had to provoke my child to anger, to do what she one. I don’t know if she was trying to defend herself, was they trying to jump on my child, I can’t say.”
Just an unfortunate situation for everyone involved, and all over some petty drama on social media.
smh it sad 🙁
Absolute madness.
GOOD MORNING MET, METTERS, PEEPERS N BLOGGERS. I AM SOOOO LOST IN THIS ONE…. WAS THE GUN HERS? IF SO DID SHE KNOW THE GIRL WAS COMING TO HER HOUSE AN SHE PURPOSELY WENT OUTSIDE WITH THE GUN? 1 OR 2 THING… 1. THAT PREGNANT GIRL HAD NOOOO RIGHT GOING TO NO ONE HOUSE TO ARGUE WITH THEM IN HER PREGNANT STATE. AN 2. THE GIRL WITH GUN HAD TO KNOW SHE WAS PREGNANT ….WHY WOULD U EVEN WANT TO FIGHT/ARGUE WITH HER. IF SHE WASN’T PREGNANT AN SHE SHOW UP W/O YOUR KNOWLEDGE THEN SHOOT YES. BUT I DON’T AGREE WITH WHAT SHE DID IN THIS CASE. :sorry
Ratchet is as ratchet does. Get a damn life outside of social media for God’s sakes. Ever heard of delete or block?
In Florida, this is a stand your ground case but apparently the law doesn’t apply to hoodrats beefing over social media.
But in any case, a good attorney will invoke her right to stand her ground and she’ll be released. Many people fault stand your ground but when a man comes to your house to wage war, take the house and the old lady with him.
Would love to see the feud that was worth two lives being ruined. If she knew the girl was pregnant and shot her purposely in the abdomen she is a cold hearted murderer.
Good morning Met and bloggers; The world has gone mad. Why would you shoot a pregnant woman regardless, if you are with child what you doing confronting people about FB??? You all need a job or two, my condolences to the mother of this lost baby. Mi nuh know star.
