New Orleans LA June 13 2013 A woman claiming to be a private security guard was arrested Sunday and booked with attempted murder after she allegedly fired a shot at a man attempting to escape from an assault in the 7th Ward Saturday night. New Orleans police said Charlene Wilson, 42, fired a gun at a man who had already been shot at eight times by another person.
According to police reports, the victim was walking in the 2500 block of Pauger Street when he was jumped. While he was fighting with his attacker, another man, said by police to be 23-year-old Joshua Joseph, appeared at the corner of Pauger and North Derbigny Street and began shooting.
Police said Joseph fired eight shots in all. He was also arrested Sunday and booked with attempted second-degree murder. His bail was set at $215,000.
In the arrest report, the victim stated that as he tried to escape the scene, he saw both of his male attackers flee northbound and enter an apartment on the corner of Pauger and North Roman Street. It was then that Wilson allegedly came out of that building and fired a shot.
The victim identified Joseph in a lineup as the man who fired the weapon from the corner of Pauger and North Derbigny.
While police were questioning Joseph on Sunday morning, Wilson emerged from the same residence, allegedly still wearing the same red shirt as the day before.
According to police, Wilson said she admitted to firing the gun when she saw her daughter fighting with unknown people. She also told police that as a security guard she was trained not to fire her weapon and that she "knew better."
A search of Joseph's car uncovered a 7.62x39-caliber assault rifle containing 26 rounds of ammunition, police said. Joseph is a previously convicted felon and is on probation for cocaine possession.
Wilson, who had a forgery charge expunged from her record in 1999, was booked with attempted second-degree murder and illegal use of a firearm. Her bail was set at $160,000.
