Johanna Davila, 50, was charged with attempted murder<\/a> and conspiring to commit murder following a July 12 shooting scheme, according to Las Vegas TV station KLAS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She remained in custody this week. Her bail was set at $35K and she\u2019s scheduled to appear in local court on Sept. 4.<\/p>\n

Victim Wanted Her Share of Business<\/h2>\n

The victim was identified as the owner of the nightclub located on\u00a0East Lake Mead Boulevard in the Sunrise Manor neighborhood. He was attempting to acquire Davila\u2019s share of the club and the two were supposed to have a business meeting on July 13 about the acquisition, authorities said.<\/p>\n

But hours before the meeting, the unnamed victim was traveling to his residence after working at the nightclub.<\/p>\n

He noticed that a van was behind his vehicle as he drove in the Sunrise Manor neighborhood.<\/p>\n

When he reached the corner of \u00a0North Linn Lane and East Owens Avenue, bullets<\/a> were shot in his direction. Five bullets struck his car.<\/p>\n

None of them struck his body and he escaped suffering any injuries.<\/p>\n

The incident was reported to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department<\/a> (LVMPD). Officers searched the area and later found video from surveillance cameras.<\/p>\n

While watching the video, officers saw a car which was registered to Davila. It was spotted near the crime scene.<\/p>\n

Davila and a second suspect were questioned by police. Davila was searched and officers found a gun in her purse. Bullets were inspected. They were similar to those found at the shooting scene, police said. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It was also revealed that she allegedly followed the victim for almost five hours waiting for the right time to shoot at him, police added.<\/p>\n

Claimed She Was at Disneyland<\/h2>\n

At first, Davila told police she was at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California<\/a>, when the victim\u2019s car was struck by bullets.<\/p>\n

Her story later changed and she told police she was in the area of the shooting. But she said she wasn\u2019t connected to the shooting. Later, police found sufficient evidence to charge her.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She now faces the two counts. If convicted of the crimes, she faces imprisonment.<\/p>\n

As of Thursday, the second suspect, an unnamed man, wasn\u2019t charged. He denied involvement in the shooting. But LVMPD officers believe the man conspired with Davila in the shooting, KLAS reported.<\/p>\n

No word on the extent of damage to the victim\u2019s car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
