Little Mountain woman arrested and charged with attempted murder for shooting into car

Lexington, SC 07/16/2023 - Lexington County deputies have arrested a Little Mountain woman accused of shooting at two men as they were driving on a road.

Breasia Bowers, 21, is charged with two counts of attempted murder, discharging a firearm into a vehicle and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, according to arrest warrants.

“Based on the information detectives have gathered, Bowers fired shots the night of May 28 from a car that was following a car with the two shooting victims inside,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said. “They were riding on Lazy Brook Drive in Little Mountain.”

The two men were not injured by the gunfire; however, their car was hit and damaged, according to Koon.

“Investigators continue to work on this case, but it seems to stem from a disagreement among extended family members,” Koon said. “One of the victims is related to Bowers by marriage.”

Deputies arrested Bowers in Little Mountain Thursday. She is being held in the Lexington County Detention Center.
