Authorities found Collier’s body in a crashed car less than a mile away from her home. According to statements, she had been shot in her abdomen, with one bullet hole observed on the driver’s side of her vehicle. Collier, who was a mother to two daughters, was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

According to the affidavit, a witness informed a deputy in the area of the crime scene, claiming that a woman driving a red SUV was “sitting in the middle of the road” and “shooting at people driving past her.” Another person also approached deputies alleging that a woman in a red SUV stopped next to her and exclaimed “why the (expletive) are you following me? Who are you?” before she drove off and heard two thumps from the back of her vehicle, which were later determined to be gunfire. Sammie’s mother was identified from a photographic lineup by a witness who lives in the area and saw her shoot at the second and third victims’ vehicles, deputies said.
