At the scene, officers interviewed several witnesses who had heard shots being fired.
A casing was found in the grass in front of the home, a live round was found in the parking lot and four bullet holes were found at the home, according to the affidavit.
”The victim was inside with her daughter and stated the rounds, ‘whizzed by her head,’” the affidavit said.
One witness at the scene stated he was being robbed by “a male in a silver car with big rims.”
“(The girlfriend of the witness) stated a male named Juan Reyes came to her apartment (address) to meet with (the witness) because Mr. Reyes owned him money,” the affidavit said.
The girlfriend said the witness got into the back of the silver car with big rims, the affidavit said.
“Mr. Reyes pistol-whipped (witness) and took his money,” the affidavit said.
Reyes and the witness then got out of the car and started to fight.
Another witness at the scene stated she was outside with her son when sh
e saw Reyes and the other witness fighting, and then she heard shots begin to fire, the affidavit said.
The witness said two men began shooting, including Reyes, according to the affidavit.

Reyes was arrested and charged with assault and discharging a firearm on or near prohibited premises.
Later Monday evening at police headquarters, Reyes “was refusing to follow officers instructions,” according to another affidavit filed in the case.
“Officers advised Mr. Reyes that he was going to be placed into a cell. He took off his shoes and refused to cooperate further, becoming combative,” the affidavit said. “Mr. Reyes then kicked (officer) in the right leg.”
Reyes was then pepper-sprayed, according to the affidavit, and officers attempted to help him onto his feet so they could walk him down the hallway.
“Mr. Reyes was still combative and spit on the right side of (officer’s) face,” the affidavit said.
Reyes was charged with an additional charge of assault and harassment with a bodily substance.
The next court date in Reyes case has not yet been scheduled.
