Monroe police have arrested a man accused of shooting his sister in the head.

Police say the shooting happened Saturday night at a home in the 100 block of Vernon Street.

They say the victim came home to find her brother, Tramaine Hearns, in her backyard. According to police, she said Hearns ran up to her, pointed a gun at her head, and fired, grazing her in the forehead.

An arrest report states that she ran away and heard him shoot two more times. The victim was taken to the hospital for her injuries. She reportedly told police that she did not know why Hearns shot her.

We also talked to neighbors in the area, who tell us the victim is a good person and didn't deserve this.

"We do everything together. Rita's not a bad person. Our neighborhood not even bad. We don't have traffic like that. For her to get shot is just so sad, but I hope she pull through. We're going to keep her in our prayers," said neighbor Ranlesha Rowland.

Hearns was booked into the Ouachita Correctional Center on a charge of attempted second-degree murder.

According to court records, Hearns was previously jailed after another attempted murder charge stemming from a shooting on Gordon Avenue in 2017. The victim in the 2017 case was someone different. In that case, Hearns eventually pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated assault and was sentenced to six months in jail.
