MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A mother is facing charges after Memphis police said she fired a gunshot at the father of her 1-year-old daughter and then took off with the child, leading to police issuing a City Watch on Tuesday, Feb. 27.
Mikenna Smith, 21, has been charged with aggravated assault. She is out of jail after posting $25,000 bond.
The Memphis Police Department (MPD) canceled the City Watch for the baby on Tuesday.
MPD investigators said Tuesday morning, Feb. 27, the child was taken after an argument broke out between two people, leading to the mother firing a gunshot and then taking off with the infant in a SUV. Court records said Smith also maced the father before running away.
Hours later, about 4 p.m., MPD said the child had been located. Further details were not released.
