Kent told a deputy that she’d gone over to the apartment of her neighbor, Moulton, to ask why Moulton called the police on her. Kent then “stated that Moulton (who is deaf) started getting in Kent’s face and waving her hands in the air.
Kent stated that she then pushed Moulton away and then Moulton punched Kent in the face, according to the deputy’s report.
Moulton advised that she had just came home from the store and Kent was kicking and hitting the door.
Moulton advised that she then opened the door and Kent punched her in the back of the head, according to the report.
Moulton stated that the fight made its way out to the parking lot and then ended, the report stated.
At the time of the report due to conflicting statements and no visible injuries on either party, the deputy was unable to determine a victim.
The shooting was part of a wave of violent crimes that swept the CSRA, leaving two people dead, eight people shot and one person stabbed within 12 hours.
