The victim was then followed by the suspects, 40-year-old Nazly Ortiz and 34-year-old Benjamin Greene.

Greene, a Navy veteran, was said to have exited his vehicle and assaulted the victim when both vehicles came to a stop.

As the victim tried to leave, the sheriff said Ortiz exited the vehicle and fired a shot into the backseat window, the sheriff said.

The suspect was traveling with a 2-year-old child in the vehicle.

Ortiz is accused of firing a second shot as the victim continued to drive. That bullet reportedly hit a nearby car dealership.

Ortiz was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon while Greene was charged with assault.
