On Sunday 08-25-24 at 0601 hours, I received a call to report to [3000 BLOCK] Jeffersonville Rd. Apt [REDACTED] (Jeffersonville Apts.) in reference to an assault.
I spoke to Ms. [VICTIM ] who stated that while she was in her residence, her ex-boyfriend (James Fuller) entered her residence by forcing the front window to her apartment up. Ms. [VICTIM ] stated that Mr. Fuller started assaulting her by punching her in her head with his fist and hit her with a pistol in her head. I observed that Ms. [VICTIM ] had a swelling on her forehead. Ms. [VICTIM ] then stated that Mr. Fuller fired two shots at her with the pistol. I observed 1 shell casing on the floor beside the couch and 1 on top of the couch. I also observed 1 bullet hole in the wall behind the couch.
Ms. [VICTIM ] stated that she was on the couch attempting to get Mr. Fuller off her when he shot two times towards her. Ms. [VICTIM ] also stated that Mr. Fuller took the keys to her burgundy 2011 Honda Accord and drove off in it. A partial tag is [REDACTED] but Ms. [VICTIM ] could not remember the rest and could not find a insurance card to get the VIN. I gave Ms. [VICTIM ] the phone number to the Crisis Safe House, and advised her to call them for a T.P.O. on Mr. Fuller. I also suggested to Ms. [VICTIM ] to go somewhere for safety and she stated that she was going to her mother’s house.
I will be signing warrants on Mr. Fuller for aggravated assault, battery, burglary, and theft by taking motor vehicle. Sgt. Page came to the scene, and I told advised him of this incident. I put the bullet casing into the crime lab.
