Detroit Woman Charged in Repo Shooting

A Detroit woman has been charged after allegedly opening fire on a man attempting to repossess her vehicle last Thursday, authorities said.

Shaquanda Danielle Tankersley, 38, was arraigned Monday in 36th District Court on charges including assault with intent to murder and felony firearm use. Her bond was set at $50,000, and a bond review hearing is scheduled for Wednesday. She’s also due in court for a probable cause conference on June 25.

According to Detroit police, officers on patrol witnessed a woman shooting at a truck and its driver around 2:58 p.m. on Nottingham Road near I-94. Investigators allege Tankersley fired multiple shots after the victim repossessed her vehicle two blocks away.

Officers returned fire, striking Tankersley in the upper torso. She was treated at a hospital and later released.

If convicted, she faces up to life in prison. The court has prohibited her from contacting the victim or possessing weapons. She has requested a court-appointed attorney, records show.
