Records Detail Slow 911 Response Prior to Domestic Violence Attack
Published at 7:37 PM CDT on Oct 15, 2015
New records obtained by the attorney for a Dallas domestic violence victim detail what they claim to be failed response to repeated 911 calls before a shooting that left her paralyzed.
Police did not reach Roxanna Mayo until after the Jan. 19, 2015, attack by her former boyfriend.
Mayo said she ran a successful salon before the shooting but is unable to support her four children now as she receives care in a nursing home.
A 911 recording of one call from the daughter was made at 4:40 p.m., 26 minutes before a neighbor called to report the 5:06 p.m. shooting.
"My step dad is hitting my mom, and we're in the middle of the street. He threw a beer at my mom's face," the girl said.
The shooting happened inside the woman's apartment. When police arrived afterward, Mayo said officers poked her as she lay paralyzed on the floor.
"They were just kind of mocking me and laughing at me, and they said, 'Calm down, you just have one bullet wound,'" Mayo said.
She said the bullet went through her lung and lodged in her spinal cord where it cannot safely be removed.
Mayo said she hopes her lawsuit will help her support her children and fight domestic violence.

DALLAS (CBS 11 NEWS) – A North Dallas woman who said she was shot by her ex-boyfriend and paralyzed is now suing the City Of Dallas.
Roxanna Mayo claims the incident could have been prevented had 911 operators acted faster.
During the MLK holiday,Mayo said she got into a heated argument with her ex-boyfriend Quadriq Sharper. Mayo said the situation escalated and Sharper pulled out a gun and shot her.
“I looked around and all I saw was blood. It just felt like my legs were in the air floating,” said Mayo.
The bullet hit her arm, but then traveled into her spine, leaving her paralyzed from the chest down. The slug remains lodged in her back.
