Man arrested after shooting at two women, police say
A 24-year-old West Palm Beach man was arrested Thursday on charges of attempted murder after police said he fired a gun at two women, striking one in the leg.
Jamurphy Charles Allen was arrested on a charge of attempted homicide, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, fleeing and eluding police and resisting arrest.
“He was firing more than one shot in the house,” said police spokeswoman Alyson Crean.
He is also a convicted felon who can’t legally have a gun, police said, which netted him an additional felony charge.
Hannah Hunt, 25, was struck in the leg and airlifted to Jackson Memorial’s Ryder Trauma Center. She was later released from the hospital, Crean said.
Allen also fired the gun while Zoey Hernandez, 27, was inside the house, police said. But she was not injured.
On Thursday night, Allen remained at the Stock Island Detention Center without bond.
