Woman charged with attempted homicide in shooting of girlfriend

A Nashville woman charged with attempted criminal homicide in the shooting of her girlfriend on Thursday had been arrested in November in connection with the shooting of a different woman.

Cealie James, 23, was arrested Thursday following the shooting earlier that morning.

Metro police say James shot her girlfriend, 21-year-old Destiny Gregory, during an argument inside their home Thursday at Haynes Garden Apartments, located at 2715 Whites Creek Pike.

James fled the scene after the shooting, but later returned and was taken into police custody.

Gregory was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where Thursday night she was in stable condition with serious injuries.

When the shooting took place on Thursday, James was already out of jail on a $20,000 bond after being charged in November with shooting a different woman in the shoulder outside a motel on Spence Lane, according to police.

Domestic violence detectives are working the case.
