Police arrest woman accused of injuring 4 in shooting at South Dade home on Christmas
A woman spent her 31st birthday behind bars after allegedly firing a gun multiple times into a South Miami-Dade home from the front yard, striking and injuring four people on Christmas Day, according to police.
Around 6:30 p.m., Dacia Allie Tisdale was at 26510 SW 138th Court, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house, when she got into an argument with one of the residents, according to her arrest report. She then grabbed a gun from her car and began firing at the house, striking three people before taking off in a dark red Chevrolet, according to the report.
She then returned to the house and continued firing from her car and hit a fourth person, police say.
A friend drove three of the victims to Baptist Health Homestead Hospital before police got to the house. Two of those people were airlifted by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue from Homestead Hospital to Jackson South. Miami-Dade police officers then responded to the home, and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue took the remaining victim to Jackson Memorial Hospital South. All victims were initially listed as being in critical condition.

As of Thursday morning, the victims were in stable condition, according to Detective Andre Martin of the Miami-Dade Police Department.
The shooting victims, who have not been identified, know Tisdale, though police have not disclosed details of their relationship.
Tisdale was identified from a six-person lineup, according to police, and arrested at a West Perrine home on Thursday, which coincided with her 31st birthday. She was charged with four counts each of attempted murder, discharging a weapon from a vehicle and use of a firearm while committing a felony.
Posts made by Tisdale on Facebook show her celebrating Christmas and her birthday before her arrest.
Jail records show she is currently locked up at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and that her bond has not yet been set. Her attorney information was not immediately available on the county clerk’s website.
