Officer Vonquita Tobias Arrested for Shooting Acquaintance

An off-duty Jackson police officer reportedly shot an acquaintance this evening at an apartment complex on Ridgewood Road and was arrested.

Precinct 2 officer Vonquita Tobias “was allegedly defending herself from attack during the course of a domestic dispute when she shot 31-year-old Terry Kaho in the foot,” JPD spokesman Lt. Jeffery Scott said in a news release.

The shooting happened just after 6 p.m. at Parham Pointe Apartments.

Kaho was taken to the University of Mississippi Medical Center. His injury was not considered life-threatening.

Tobias was arrested and charged with domestic violence and taken to the Hinds County Detention Center, police said.

Kaho will also be arrested on a domestic violence charge on his release from the hospital, police said.

No further information was immediately available.
