DALLAS—A mother and daughter were riding home from a night out when they were critically injured in a drive-by shooting, and Dallas police are still searching for suspects.
They were at a stoplight here when the gunfire suddenly began, according to one of the victims, who was taken to the hospital in severe condition.
Around five in the morning on Saturday, a shooting occurred at the intersection of North Stemmons Freeway and Inwood Road.
Nikki James hired a private vehicle, and she and her 20-year-old daughter were shot on the way home from an early night out.
“I just noticed bullets flying in all directions. Yes, I did exit the truck. “I had no idea what was happening,” she recalled. “I was shot, and I knew it. I informed my daughter. “This must be my time,” I thought.
According to the police, an unidentified car pulled up, started shooting at the black SUV, and then drove away.
In a hospital in North Texas, the 37-year-old is still recuperating from gunshot wounds to her foot and thigh. She also had a bullet graze her forehead.
According to James, her 20-year-old daughter was shot twice but is now free.
The black SUV’s driver was unharmed. No other drivers in the vicinity were struck.

On Wednesday evening, a female Uber driver reported that her passenger had stolen her vehicle to Royse City police.
On-scene footage, however, reveals that while workers were in the vicinity, the window of a Dallas water services vehicle flew out.
James thinks someone she knows targeted her.
Her words, “I know exactly who did this,” were clear. “I spoke to the police so they have all the information they need to continue with the investigation.”
Dallas police refused to give any further details when FOX 4 questioned them about the motive, simply claiming that the investigation is “ongoing.”
James is grateful that she and her kid, as well as everyone else who might have been caught in the crossfire, are still alive.
“For someone to have that much anger, people have that much anger towards someone needs to be in jail,” she stated.
In this case, no one has been arrested.
Investigators searched the area for surveillance footage. As part of the inquiry, they have also conducted interviews with both victims.
