FORT WAYNE, Ind. (TCN) — A man and a woman were arrested this week after she allegedly smashed her ex-boyfriend’s car with an ax and attacked him and his new girlfriend in front of a laundromat.
On March 23 at approximately 4 p.m., Fort Wayne Police Department officers were dispatched to the 2500 block of Broadway regarding a disturbance involving an armed individual and learned that a shooting took place. When officers arrived, they reportedly “found evidence of an altercation.”
Fort Wayne Police said one of the suspects, Rudaeja Moore, sustained a gunshot wound to the lower extremities and was transported to the hospital. Investigators said Moore and Andrew Scott-Guyton got into an argument “with one individual wielding an ax and the other a handgun.”
According to court records cited by WPTA-TV, Scott-Guyton, his girlfriend, and a child pulled up to a laundromat on the afternoon of March 23. A few minutes later, Moore allegedly parked right in front of him with several children in her vehicle. Moore reportedly got out of the car and approached Scott-Guyton, her ex-boyfriend. She allegedly yelled at Scott-Guyton’s new girlfriend and told her to fight her, but Scott-Guyton tried pushing her back. She reportedly punched him, went back to her vehicle, retrieved an ax, and started hitting his car with it.
WPTA reports Scott-Guyton fired one shot at the ground and two more at Moore’s vehicle while her kids were in it. He allegedly told police he was afraid for his life. Scott-Guyton reportedly has a protective order against Moore.
Fort Wayne Police arrested Moore on charges of criminal recklessness, two counts of domestic battery, invasion of privacy, and criminal mischief. Scott-Guyton is being charged with criminal recklessness.
