The daugh­ter of R&J Cell Tech nar­row­ly es­caped in­jury af­ter a gun­man opened fire on her ve­hi­cle in an ap­par­ent at­tempt on her life on Tues­day morn­ing.

Re­ports say the in­ci­dent took place around 10 a.m., short­ly af­ter she dropped off her moth­er at the fam­i­ly’s store at Gulf City Mall. She was dri­ving along the South Trunk Road head­ing to buy food when a Nis­san B14 Sen­tra rammed the back of her Range Rover near the Cross Cross­ing in­ter­change.

She stopped, think­ing it was a traf­fic ac­ci­dent. The car pulled up along­side her and, be­liev­ing the dri­ver might flee, she be­gan record­ing with her phone. But the front pas­sen­ger door of the B14 opened and a man fired two shots at her.

One bul­let struck her dri­ver’s door and the oth­er lodged in the back seat. She sped off and drove straight to the po­lice sta­tion.

There were two men in the sus­pect ve­hi­cle—one in the dri­ver’s seat and an­oth­er in the back. Her fa­ther, Ra­bindranath Ma­haraj, be­lieves it was an at­tempt­ed hit on his daugh­ter but said he had no clear mo­tive. He added that his fam­i­ly has been tar­get­ed for years: his son was kid­napped, there were two at­tempt­ed kid­nap­pings of an­oth­er daugh­ter, and the fam­i­ly has en­dured 14 rob­beries.

San Fer­nan­do po­lice are in­ves­ti­gat­ing.
