A 31-year-old woman has been detained in the Dallas food delivery turned ambush in March, in which a man was shot moments after answering his door to an order he claimed he never made, according to officials.
According to Dallas police, a man was ambushed at his front door on March 1 around 4:15 p.m. in the 1800 block of Sedona Lane. According to the allegation, a delivery driver carried a bag of food to the front door as a suspect dressed in black clothing waited just out of sight near the garage. As soon as the door opened, the suspect ran in and started shooting.
Dallas police say the perpetrator placed the food order to entice the victim to answer the door and shoot him. The victim, who has not been recognized, sustained critical injuries.
Officials identified the suspect as Marquita Rice, 31. Rice knows the victim.
On May 26, U.S. Marshals and the Wake Forest Police Department apprehended Rice in Wake Forest, North Carolina. She was detained and is being held at the Wake County Jail for extradition to Dallas County. She is accused with aggravated assault, which is family violence with a lethal weapon.
She is being jailed under a $1 million bond.
