Volusia County (Fla.) Sheriff’s Office booking photo of Zehra Percy.
A woman in Florida who was the mistress of a man she called her “sugar daddy” is accused of firing a gun into the car of the man’s full-time girlfriend — as the girlfriend’s 1-year-old child sat inside.
The alleged shooter, Zehra Percy, 20, used the so-called sugar daddy’s gun in the act, police say.
The chaotic love triangle imploded in Daytona Beach on Nov. 4 outside of an apartment complex, the South Daytona Police Department said.
According to an arrest affidavit obtained by Law&Crime, the incident happened after the victim said she went to pick up dinner from Wendy’s just after 9 p.m. Upon returning, she noticed a silver car was parked outside of the house. The woman, who was not identified, allegedly told officers she had seen the car pass by the residence a few times before.
Curious, the victim said she parked her car near the silver car. Sitting inside her vehicle for a couple minutes, it was then that the woman saw Percy exit the apartment building. The woman’s boyfriend, who is also the father of her 1-year-old child who was in the car at the time, was with Percy, she said.
As the victim got out of her car to confront Percy and her boyfriend, according to local CBS affiliate WKMG, someone nearby shouted “she has a gun!”

Police said what happened next occurred rapidly: As the victim ran back to her car, Percy allegedly went to the trunk of her vehicle, hauled out a gun and started shooting at the woman and toward her car where the 1-year-old child was seated inside.
At least two rounds were fired, police said.
Percy was not apprehended until last Friday, WKMG reported, when she was pulled over for a traffic stop. Officers asked to search her vehicle for the gun used to shoot at the woman on Nov. 4.
Percy told them where to find it. She had given it back to the man in the middle of the two women: her “sugar daddy,” she said
Investigators reported confirming that Percy was the man’s mistress.
The 20-year-old woman was detained and released on $5,000 bond.
