A woman in Texas is accused of shooting the father of her
children during a heated custody exchange, police say.

Keshante Shamirra Harris, 27, was placed under arrest after she
shot Aaron Konte Williams, 29, on Sunday evening, according to
the Houston Police Department. Harris allegedly shot at Williams
several times, hitting him in the arm and leg, during a custody
exchange with one of their two children present.

Williams survived the attack.

The shooting occurred at around 9:50 p.m. at 5870 Beldart
Street, police stated. According to NBC affiliate KPRC-TV, the
incident took place at Harris’ grandmother’s home, where the
parents regularly met for child drop-off.

Web mapping platforms show the area is a residential
neighborhood in southeast Houston.

Detective D. King of the Houston Police Major Assaults and
Family Violence Division stated Harris and Williams had
previously been in a “dating relationship,” according to the
release. Authorities indicated Harris shot Williams because he
brought his current girlfriend when returning their child.

“Willams was bringing one of the children back from a weekend
visit and had his current girlfriend in the vehicle with him,”
King stated. “Harris was upset Williams’ girlfriend was present
at the time of the exchange and shot at Williams several times.”

No one else was harmed in the shooting.

The suspect’s grandmother - who was not named - told reporters
she answered her door at around 9:00 p.m. that evening,
according to KPRC-TV. The woman said she brought her 5-month-old
grandchild inside moments before she heard people screaming
outside, shouting to call the police.

Harris allegedly shot at Williams four times - hitting him twice
- and “ripped [Williams’] necklace from [Williams’] neck,”
according to a court filing obtained by Law & Crime. Harris then
“sped away in and crashed [Williams’] vehicle into a light pole.”

Neighborhood resident Shaniqua Hudson described the event as
“shocking,” telling KPRC-TV she heard gunfire before looking
outside to see the crashed car.

“All I seen was police, yellow tape,” said Hudson. “Police and
yellow tape there. The top of the pole is down in those people’s
yards.”

Authorities said Harris was positively identified as the shooter
when she returned to the scene of the crime.

Meanwhile, paramedics with the Houston Fire Department
transported Williams to an area hospital where he was treated
for non-life-threatening injuries, according to the release.

“When you do the unthinkable like that, it’s scary because the
bullets could of went in anyone’s house around here,” Hudson
continued. “I have a grandbaby. I have my daughter. I have my
son.”

Harris was charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon
and deadly conduct - discharging a firearm, according to the
release. Jail records show she’s being held at the Harris County
Jail on $75,000 for each of the two criminal charges.

She is expected to appear before a judge on Thursday.
