A 19-year-old Tennessee woman was booked into jail Monday morning more than a week after a shooting that killed another woman at a Memphis house party, according to reports.
Kyla Jones is charged with first-degree murder, three counts of aggravated assault and reckless endangerment, all felonies. She was also charged with assault in a separate case.
The victim was identified as 21-year-old D’Arrah Gordon.
The shooting happened just after 1 a.m. Oct. 15 at a house in the 2100 block of Madison Avenue, just a few doors east of the Overton Square entertainment district.
A police report says Jones and Gordon began arguing during a party at the house. Jones pulled out a handgun and fired several times at Gordon, as up to 20 other people ran for safety.
Witnesses said Gordon was hit by gunfire as she ran down a hallway. She was taken to Regional One hospital, where she later was pronounced dead.
A warrant was issued last week for Jones’ arrest in the Madison Avenue shooting.
