The accused, Tanieka Ray, aged 39, reportedly targeted her ex-boyfriend in Memphis, following the initial collision with her vehicle. According to local CBS affiliate WREG, citing police sources, the incident left the victim severely injured.

After the alleged assault, the ex-boyfriend was discovered by a neighbor, who found him leaning against a fence. Acting quickly, the neighbor helped him onto his porch after witnessing the shocking events on the 500 block of Gilleas Road at approximately 11:30 a.m. on Saturday.

In the aftermath, law enforcement was summoned to the scene, where they found the victim in a state of critical condition. He was subsequently taken to a hospital for urgent medical care, highlighting the severity of his injuries.

The neighbor called police and officers responded to find the injured victim. He was hospitalized and listed as being in critical condition.

Police spoke to the neighbor and were told that he heard a commotion outside his home and looked out to see Ray in her SUV on the street, WREG reports. She allegedly started making U-turns while yelling at a man who was on the ground. He claimed to hear her telling the man that she was going to run him over again and was going to kill him.

The victim later gave a statement saying Ray allegedly hit him with the vehicle and then ran him over three to four times after he slipped and fell in his neighbor’s yard while trying to get away from her. The neighbor said that after running him over, she saw Ray speed off and strike a utility pole a few houses down from his residence with her vehicle.

After the crash, Ray allegedly got out and took off running. She was later found in south Memphis at a home on the 700 block of East Davant Avenue. The neighbor identified her in a six-person lineup, according to police.

Ray’s ex suffered multiple broken bones and a number of dislocated body parts requiring surgery as a result of the crash, WREG reports. Ray was being held over the weekend on the attempted murder charge.
