MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A woman is facing attempted murder charges after Memphis Police say she shot at a family after an argument in the Oak Court Mall parking lot.
Denise Norris, 38, was arrested and charged with attempted second-degree murder for the incident.
On Sunday, Memphis Police responded to a shooting at Oak Court Drive and Southern Avenue.
A male victim told them that he was driving his black 2019 Dodge Durango which was occupied by a woman in the front passenger seat and his juvenile daughter in the back seat.
He claimed he and other family members were occupying two other separate vehicles as they exited the Oak Court Mall parking lot and turned northbound on Oak Court Drive when they were shot at multiple times.
He said his vehicle was struck once on the driver’s side fuel door.
He said that the alleged shooter was an unknown woman driving a white GMC Yukon XL.
According to the victim, the shooter continued southbound on Oak Court Drive toward Southern Avenue.

On Tuesday, investigators spoke with the male victim again who said that he and other family members had gotten into a verbal altercation with the unknown woman in the south parking lot of Oak Court Mall before the shooting.
He also said that she’d been following them out the lot before she fired the shots.
The victim described the suspect as an approximately 5’9″ woman with a medium build.
Surveillance cameras in the area captured the white GMC Yukon XL traveling southbound on Oak Court Drive and after checking its tags, learned it was registered to Denise Norris.
Investigators presented a six-person photo lineup to the male victim and a female witness. They both positively identified Norris as the woman driving the Yukon and the person who shot at them.
Norris is being held on $30,000 bond. She is due to appear in court on Monday.
