A Florida woman allegedly tracked her boyfriend’s location, rode an Uber to a dark field, and fired a single bullet through another woman’s car window.

Quick Take

Brevard County deputies arrested a 24-year-old Cocoa woman accused of shooting another woman in the shoulder.
An arrest affidavit says the suspect used location information to find her boyfriend parked with another woman near Bamboo Avenue.
The victim, Angel Adenau, was shot in the left shoulder and taken to a Melbourne hospital for treatment.
The suspect now faces four felony charges, including attempted first-degree murder with a firearm.

A Confrontation in a Brevard County Field

Deputies say the shooting happened in a grassy field near Bamboo Avenue in Brevard County, Florida. An arrest affidavit states the suspect, identified as Kelly, found her boyfriend, Elijah Baker, parked there with another woman, Angel Adenau. She allegedly walked up to the car and fired one round through the passenger-side window.

Adenau was struck in the left shoulder. Deputies took her to Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne for treatment after the shooting. She survived, but the gunshot wound required hospital care before she could speak to investigators about what happened that night.

Investigators say Kelly placed a pink-and-black Glock handgun in her purse before leaving home that night. Instead of driving herself, she called an Uber and rode toward the area where she believed Baker had gone, according to the arrest report.

From Location Data to a Single Gunshot

Reports describe Kelly using location information tied to Baker to find his whereabouts that night, though the exact app or method has not been made public. At the scene, investigators recovered the pink-and-black Glock and a matching 9mm shell casing, tying the weapon directly to the shooting.

Kelly told detectives she took an Uber to the location and first claimed she fired in self-defense, saying Baker’s car moved toward her. Investigators later reported she admitted firing the gun to “make a point” because she believed he was cheating on her.

The Charges Kelly Now Faces

Brevard County prosecutors charged Kelly with attempted first-degree murder with a firearm, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, shooting into an occupied vehicle, and possession of a firearm during a felony. Each charge points to a law enforcement theory that the shot was intentional, not accidental or purely defensive.

An arrest on these charges is an allegation, not a conviction. The case will move through Brevard County’s court system, where both the self-defense claim and the “make a point” statement will likely come under closer legal scrutiny.

Why Tracking Apps Complicate Modern Breakups

Checking a partner’s location has become common in modern relationships. Researchers describe digital monitoring as a spectrum, ranging from casual check-ins to coercive control, and note that GPS tracking shows up repeatedly in stalking cases that later escalate into violence.

Firearms research on intimate partner violence also shows a pattern worth noting. Studies found men more often used guns to reassert control over a partner, while women more often fired in self-defense against an armed partner. The Brevard County case stands apart from that pattern, since Kelly is accused of targeting a third party rather than Baker himself.

What Happens Next in the Case

Kelly remains in custody as the Brevard County court system processes her charges. Future hearings will address bond, evidence, and whether her self-defense claim holds up against the physical evidence recovered at the scene. Baker and Adenau have not publicly commented, and the investigation continues.
