Clarissa Brooks of Woodside Street told police she was cooking supper for her children when she heard someone honking the horn of a vehicle out front - multiple times.

She said she went out and found it was a white Chevrolet Tahoe occupied by Demetrius Hughes, the father of her children, and his girlfriend, Tamera Slaughter.

She said Ms. Slaughter stepped out of the vehicle and yelled, "Let me get my one." (translated by police as "I want to fight.")

Ms. Brooks said she has gotten into a physical fight before with Ms. Slaughter over Demetrius.
