A Brooklyn Park woman has been charged for shooting and robbing a woman in her mid-70s as she tried to enter her apartment, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office announced Friday.

Da'Seanna Williams, 21, faces one count of first-degree aggravated robbery and one count of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon for shooting and attacking a 76-year-old female who was on her way back from the bank and about to enter her apartment.

Williams will make her first appearance January 8 at 1:30 p.m.

According to the criminal complaint, on January 2, Minneapolis police responded to a shooting that occurred at an apartment on 22nd Street East. There officers found the 76-year-old victim bleeding from her hip and head. Her adult son who lives in the same apartment, told police that she was on her way home from the bank to get money to pay for rent.

The victim informed officers that Williams followed her when she returned from the bank, through the apartment’s parking lot. Williams then entered the apartment building and rode the same elevator with the victim up to her apartment, the complaint states.

When the victim and Williams got off the elevator, Williams pulled out a gun and shot her in the hip. Williams proceeded to attack the victim with her gun, hitting her multiple times in the head and stealing her purse, the complaint continues.

The purse was later found outside, but approximately $900 in cash inside was missing. Police also found a discharged casing outside the victim’s apartment, and what appeared to be pieces of a gun.

After additional investigation, and review of surveillance footage from the area, police identified Williams as the robber and assailant. A search warrant was obtained on January 6 by police to search Williams’ apartment in Brooklyn Park. When they arrived, Williams was attempting to flee out the window, but was ultimately stopped, the complaint says.

A gun with apparent pieces missing was found under the mattress during the search of her apartment.

In a statement to police, Williams admitted that she assaulted and robbed the victim.

Haweeneyda dhibanaha ah waxa ay ciidamada nabadgelyada u sheegtay in Ina Williams ay soo daba gashay markii ay ka soo noqotay bangiga, ilaa halka gawaarida la dhigto ee dhismaha. Ka dib waxa ay In Williams soo gashay dhismaha oo iyada oo dhibanaha la soo raacday wiishka ilaa ay ka soo gaaraty qolkii ay ka deganeyd guriga, sidaas ayaa lagu sheegay qoraalka dawcadda.
