The attack took place on the early morning of June 20, 2026, on the 2800 block of Poplar Street. Danielle was waiting to pick up a scheduled passenger when two men approached her vehicle. According to her account, one suspect, described as a young man wearing all black and a medical mask, pointed a gun at her driver's side window. Fearing for her life, Danielle attempted to drive away, during which time the gunman fired, striking her in the back. She managed to reach a nearby intersection where she stopped outside a bar and called for help. Her life was saved by a trauma nurse and an EMT who responded to the scene. Danielle was hospitalized for eight days, suffering from a fractured scapula, fractured ribs, and a collapsed lung. She describes the event as traumatic, citing lasting physical and emotional scars.
