HOUSTON -- The woman allegedly shown in a live stream shooting a man inside a parked car outside a Houston gas station now faces a charge of aggravated assault with serious bodily injury, according to police.
Cassandra Nickcole Damper was first charged with tampering/fabricating of evidence after investigators said she tried to rub off the gunshot residue after the shooting occurred.
Family and friends accompanied Damper to court on Tuesday on the tampering charge. They covered her face with purses and jackets as she walked in.
District Attorney Joshua Phanco said Damper showed a level of recklessness the night of the shooting and Tuesday's court hearing was just a precursor to a bigger bond hearing.
Authorities said Wednesday Damper is currently facing two charges, but more charges may be on the way.
Devyn Holmes, the man who was shot, is still in the hospital fighting for his life.
It was Easter Sunday when Damper, Holmes and another man were sitting in a car in front of a Valero gas station on the 5200 block of Almeda Road. The three of them were playing with two pistols and Damper accidently shot Holmes in the head, according to HPD.
A phone inside the car was streaming video of the incident online, and the gruesome Facebook post soon went viral.
