She pleaded guilty to aggravated assault (four years), attempted resale of fentanyl (four years), evading arrest (two years), assault (11/29) and DUI ($465 fine).
The victim said Ms. Burress shot her at close range, then fired more shots as she was standing in a group of people. She also fired toward Fourth Avenue and the East Lake Housing Projects, witnesses said.
