ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – A woman is facing felony charges after incidents spanning over a week involving shootings, assault, and a police pursuit throughout north county.
According to the North County Police Cooperative, 32-year-old Terricca Miller went to a friends house in the Velda Village Hills neighborhood on Nov. 20 and knocked on a door with a gun. When the friend did not answer the door, Miller went to her car and fired a pistol into the air as well as inside the home, shattering glass on the front door and damaging a nearby vehicle. A doorbell camera captured the incident.
Over a week later, on Nov. 28, police say Miller was involved in a shooting in the 4200 block of Rosewood and Peyton Lane in the Pine Lawn neighborhood.
Later on Nov. 28, Miller was gambling at a gas station with an AR-15 next to her. An individual stole it, and Miller was unable to retrieve it. She became angry with the gas station attendant for not intervening, then proceeded to get another gun from her car before going back inside. Miller grabbed the attendant, hitting him repeatedly with the gun and threatening to kill him. Surveillance video also captured the interaction.
Hours after the altercation at the gas station, Miller returned with her boyfriend. Another shooting occurred, and she left driving a blue truck.
Police discovered the truck, which was wanted for the prior shootings. Miller continued to speed away, leading to a pursuit. It lasted for 45 minutes, reaching speeds over 100 mph at times. According to court documents, she narrowly missed several other vehicles and a Metro bus. The chase ended in the City of St. Louis, where those inside the vehicle jumped out, causing severe injuries.
After the truck stalled, Miller was taken into custody. Police found the same handgun used at the gas station inside her purse.
Miller is facing charges for three counts of unlawful use of a weapon, fourth-degree assault, and aggravated fleeing a stop.
