(Michigan City, IN) - Charges have been filed in connection with a Michigan City shooting that apparently was over a woman.

 

Authorities said 33-year-old Jeremy O’Neal on June 6th was inside a woman’s apartment on Pine Tree Court when a man knocked on the door.

 

The investigation shows Wayne Scott spotted O’Neal inside his ex-girlfriend’s apartment with a gun and was walking back to his vehicle when shots rang out, one of which hit Scott in the ankle. Scott then drove himself to a nearby convenience store on South Franklin Street for help before undergoing surgery to remove the round from his ankle.

 

O’Neal had three active warrants out for his arrest when taken into custody. Court documents also revealed Scott was arrested and had posted bond prior to the shooting for battering his ex-girlfriend at a liquor store.

 

O’Neal could face anywhere from a 3 to a 16-year sentence if convicted of level 3 felony aggravated battery.
