A woman in Belle Glade, originally claiming to have shot herself by accident, has now accused her boyfriend, Lorenzo Green, of firing the gun during a cocaine-fueled altercation. This revelation has led to Green being charged with attempted first-degree murder, according to details from CBS12.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office reported that after responding to an emergency call last Tuesday, June 17, the victim was found with a gunshot wound to the right leg and inconsistencies in her account led to suspicion, with her later admitting to authorities that it was Green, 53, who shot her during an argument about infidelity and his mobile phone, during the confrontation Green allegedly pulled a firearm and shot her then left the scene only to return briefly and admitting his mistake, he is also known as being convicted for felonies prior to this event.

Authorities also discovered that Green tried to contact the victim multiple times after the shooting incident, using a fictitious name to call the emergency room where she was being treated; he was additionally charged with possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, according to palmbeach__mugshots post showing mugshot and charges.

Green is currently facing serious charges including homicide - murder first degree premeditated, and possession of a weapon - or ammo by convicted Fla felon; his bond information indicates that he is being held without the possibility of posting bond, reflecting the severity of the accusations against him, the implications of these charges paint a grim picture for the accused as shown in the posting from palmbeach__mugshots allegedly associated with the case.
