A woman is accused of firing bullets into a West Side park, hitting an 8-year-old boy in the arm, during a fight Thursday.
Jeanette Zamorran, 38, is charged with child abuse, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, shooting from a motor vehicle and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Zammoran was booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center on Friday.
The boy, identified as M.M., was hospitalized in stable condition.
Officers responded to a shooting at the park in the 9500 block of Endee NW, northeast of Arroyo Vista and Interstate 40, according to a criminal complaint filed in Metropolitan Court. Police found M.M. had been shot in the arm and his aunt had a “ricochet injury to her back.”
Police said the aunt told them she took M.M. to the park after two relatives got into a fight with a group. The aunt said the group got into a vehicle, and as they drove away, someone fired shots at them.
Officers were able to track the suspect vehicle to the home of Zamarron and learned her daughter had been at the fight, the complaint states. Zamarron’s daughter said she and her family went to the park for a preplanned fight.
Police said the daughter told them there were three teenage boys at the park with guns, so they left. The daughter said, as they drove away, Zamarron rolled down her window and shot “towards the people in the park.”
Zamarron told police the teenage boys were pointing guns at their vehicle as they drove away, so she fired at them several times, the complaint states. She said the boys fired at their vehicle at one point.
Police said they found six bullet casings in the street, where Zamarron fired from the vehicle.

“There were no casings in the park, and the witnesses did not see the teenage boys fire their guns or see them with guns,” according to the complaint.
