A Michigan father of three shot and wounded his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend after he delivered gifts for his children at Christmas, according to prosecutors.
Deandre Patrick Lawrence, 23, was arrested after he allegedly shot his new boyfriend in the back when the victim tripped while fleeing a heated confrontation between them Monday morning.
Lawrence started the morning spreading holiday cheer when she came to her ex’s house to deliver gifts to their three children, but the festive atmosphere quickly soured when she got into a fight with her new man who also lives in the house, the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office alleged.
During the fight, the victim fled the home as Lawrence chased after him, the prosecutor’s office said.
When her boyfriend tripped and fell to the ground, Lawrence allegedly fired two shots into his back.
