A Peoria man is in jail after police said he shot a woman through a door during an argument Saturday afternoon.

Police said 68-year-old Yuosuf Toma is suspected of firing a single shot through a metal security door of an apartment in the area of 87th and Peoria avenues, striking a 35-year-old woman in the chest at about 1:30 p.m.

She was transported to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries, police said.

Authorities said the suspect was known to the victim and was arguing with the victim's father, who was inside.

Police said Toma fled the scene but was later found two hours later at a Sun City residence near 104th Avenue and Cameo Drive.

Toma surrendered to police without incident and was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault with a weapon and discharging a firearm at a residence.

He is being held on a $200,000 bond at the Lower Buckeye Jail in Phoenix.
