‘Tempers Flared’: Black Woman Charged After Fatally Shooting a South Carolina Woman Who Spat At Her During Parking Lot Dispute Over Who ‘Had the Right of Way’
A parking lot argument proved to be fatal for a South Carolina woman who police say spat at a driver who confronted her about blocking her in traffic.
On Tuesday, Feb. 14, not long before 4 p.m., Alexandria Cress Borys, 26, was putting groceries in her car at a Kroger grocery store in Irmo, a suburb of Columbia, South Carolina, when she crossed paths with a vehicle driven by Christina Harrison, 23.
WISTV states Borys was shopping with her sister-in-law, niece, and nephew on the day of the incident.
Local outlet FITS News reports sources close to the scene said Borys was nearly struck by the vehicle driven by Harrison, whose view had been obstructed by another vehicle parked in a fire lane. Witnesses agree that at that point an argument ensued between the two women.
According to Irma Police Chief Bobby Dale, neither woman knew the other before the shooting.
However, police say the two’s heated argument was “over who had the right-of-way” in the grocery store’s parking lot.
Fox News reports that Chief Dale said in an email to the network that at one point during the exchange, Borys, who was on foot, spat at Harrison, who was driving in her white Ford vehicle. Dale stated that after spitting at the Black woman, “Borys turned away and was simultaneously shot.”
