A 32-year-old woman walked up to a mother of three sitting in the passenger side of a car parked in a Tennessee motel parking lot and opened fire, killing her, officials said.

Jenae Bradley was arrested Tuesday on a first-degree murder charge in the February death of 29-year-old Terrica Tabor in Memphis. The shooting occurred around 9:45 p.m. on Feb. 22 in the parking lot of the Star Lite Inn.

According to a criminal complaint, Tabor was sitting in a 2007 Ford Edge with her boyfriend and her sister when they noticed a woman wearing a black-hooded coat watching them from a nearby stairway. The sister later told investigators the woman walked down the stairs and up to the car. The suspect allegedly approached the passenger side where Tabor was sitting, raised a gun and fired three shots inside the car. Per the victim”s sister, the suspect then yelled “I told you, b—! I told you!” before running away.

Cops obtained images from the surveillance cameras at the motel and say they later identified Bradley as the shooter. Tabor’s sister picked out Bradley in a photo lineup, according to the probable cause affidavit.

The affidavit did not list a motive for the shooting. Detectives obtained the arrest warrant in the days following the shooting, but it’s unclear why Bradley was able to skirt authorities for nearly five months.

Bradley was taken to the Shelby County Jail where she remains on a $90,000 bond. She’s scheduled to appear for a bond reduction hearing in court on Friday.

Tabor leaves behind three kids.

“She was a good mom,”  Tabor’s aunt told local Fox affiliate WHBG. “No one deserves to not be raised to lose their parents in such a tragedy.”

It was hardest for her eldest child, age 10, because she’s old enough to understand her mother was killed, Tabor’s aunt said.

“It was the sharpest pain in my heart because I thought, what about the children?” she said. “What about her kids?”
