A New Orleans woman is behind bars after she allegedly laid in wait for a group of women to leave a bar before following them in another car, opening fire, and killing one of her targets, Big Easy police say.

Chante Bertha Mark, 24, stands accused of one count of murder in the second degree, according to Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office records.

The shooting took the life of Raven Francis, 29, and wounded several others. The violence appeared to be payback for a large-scale bar fight earlier the same night, according to law enforcement.

Both the slain and the accused are mothers of four.
