Wyoming women terrified after man, accused of shooting at them, makes bail

WYOMING, Ohio (WXIX) – Two sisters say they are in fear for their safety after a man, accused of shooting at them on Sunday, made bail and is set to be released from jail.

Court documents say the sisters were renting a Jeep from Miguel Fritz when he fired the shots at them and a 7-year-old boy.

Fritz is in the Hamilton County Detention Center. His bail was set at $110,000 after being charged with multiple counts of felonious assault and having a weapon as a convicted felon. He posted bond and is expected to be released on Wednesday.

The sisters said they were disappointed and scared he was getting out.

The incident began when they went to Oak Avenue to rent a Jeep from him, something the sisters had done before.

“He took the fee, checked out the car, we all got in and were ready to go,” one sister said.

“The woman said Fritz started acting weird and took the keys out of the ignition and gave them their money back.

“That’s when he asked me, ‘Hey, how many funerals have you been to.’” the other woman said. “I’ve been to 38 and at that point, I’m like OK now you’re talking about death.”

The sisters said they began walking away, with one taking their 7-year-old son along. She said her main focus was getting him out of the area. The sisters said Fritz entered his home and came out with a gun and fired at him.

The women said they received a phone call that Fritz would be released from jail on Wednesday. The jail’s website showed Fritz had posted bail. The sisters want to warn other people about the incident.

“It’s very scary to know someone with that much access in the community and such a danger to the community is back out and free,” one of the sisters said.

The Wyoming Police Department said one bullet went into the roof of the front porch. No one was injured.

“It was a very dangerous situation and everyone’s lucky tobe safe and alive,” one of the sisters said.
