Police say a man confronted Jerome Steadman, 34, on April 8 at a Far Northeast Dallas apartment complex about money Steadman had borrowed.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit, Steadman pointed a handgun at the man, who began shouting, "What, are you going to shoot me?"

Steadman fired about five rounds, striking the man in the back and hand, according to the affidavit.

The victim tried to run to an acquaintance's unit at the complex at Audelia Road and Forest Lane but collapsed on the ground, police said.

He had his right pinkie finger amputated and has lost much of the feeling in his legs, doctors told police.

Police said Steadman jumped into a nearby vehicle and told the driver to take him away from the apartments. She took him a short way but refused to leave the complex, so he ran from the car, she told police.

Steadman was booked into the Dallas County Jail on April 19 on charges of aggravated assault, unlawful carrying of a weapon and drug possession. He remained there Sunday with bail set at $113,000.
