A father was shot in the head with his child inside the car during a road-rage incident in Arizona, police said.
Jenee Anisah Mariaanne Pannell, 27, is accused of shooting the man on Oct. 21 in Phoenix, then driving off, police said in a probable cause statement.
Pannell was arrested on Nov. 3 after detectives found her dark blue Kia Soul and tracked her phone records to the area of the shooting, the statement shows.
The father was driving a white Chevrolet Tahoe with his 2-year-old son and girlfriend inside when he and Pannell got into a verbal argument at a red light, police said.
Once the light turned green, police said the man drove ahead of Pannell and “slowly” drifted into her lane.
She then pulled out a gun and fired a bullet into the rear right window, striking the man in the head, authorities said.
The wounded man became incapacitated and crashed his car into a canal retention wall, police said.
He was taken to the hospital in critical condition. His son was not injured, and his girlfriend had minor injuries.
Police did not provide an update on his condition.
A city bus caught the incident on camera, including Pannell’s license plate number, the statement says.
The vehicle was registered in her name, leading detectives to her vehicle hours after the shooting, which was in Maricopa.
Maricopa is 35 miles south of Phoenix.
A search warrant allowed authorities to detect live pings from her cellphone, which lead them to a trailer in Glendale on Nov. 3, police said.
Pannell was arrested on charges including drive-by shooting, unlawful discharge of a firearm, discharging a firearm at a structure, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault causing serious physical injury, endangerment and disorderly conduct.
Her bail is set at $500,000.
A status conference will be held for Pannell on Nov. 9, then a preliminary hearing will follow on Nov. 12 at the South Court Tower in Phoenix.

Another entitled idiot.
These stupid son of bitches need to get locked up for 150 years! People are getting more disgusting every day, thanks for the evil jerks who are destroying our country! De funding the police gives A. holes carte blanche to do what they feel like it, without consequence!
Sad for the father and his girlfriend…Guess the shooter didn’t think she’d get caught…She needs to be put away for a VERY long time. Lived in the Phoenix Metro area until 2010, left to return home to Texas in order to take care of my elderly parents. Glad I got out of there when I did…I might have become a road-rage victim myself…
Put a bullet in her head and BTW: Trailer Trsh seems appropriate here ^5
Just analyzing her name indicates this shooter is black; like so many black folks, she feels she is “entitled” and a proper judge and jury should prove to her she is NOT. My one question is “Why do the charges not include attempted murder AND child endangerment?” Lock her up for 25, or 30 years so she has plenty of time to think about what she did.
That was one of the questions I wanted to know to is why wasn’t she charged with child endangerment? Personally I think she should get life she shot that Man In Cold Blood she didn’t think twice about it. And anybody that can do that just raised up a gun and fire in public place and don’t care where the bullet goes and then their kills a man is that man dies that’s murder She has no regard for human life. I think she should spend life in prison
