CLEVELAND (WJW) — A Lakewood woman appeared in court Monday on an attempted murder charge in the Thursday shooting of a city worker inside a public works garage.

A Cleveland Municipal Court judge set bond for Aisha Shani Primm Schwartz, 39, at $75,000. She was ordered to have no contact with the victim. A motion for a temporary protection order was also filed in the case, according to court records.

The shooting happened before dawn on Thursday, April 18, at the Cleveland Department of Public Works garage along East 65th Street, the FOX 8 I-Team reported .

Authorities allege Schwartz followed the worker to the garage, got into his pickup truck and took a loaded firearm from inside. She allegedly said “I’m going to kill you” before firing three shots.

One of the bullets struck the man and traveled to his esophagus. He was transported to a hospital in serious condition but is expected to recover.

The I-Team learned the suspect and victim knew each other.

Schwartz also faces charges of aggravated robbery and tampering with evidence. She is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on Monday, April 29. Her case is expected to go before a county grand jury.
