MEMPHIS, Tenn. — “She just kept screaming to me ‘Oh God, you’re an angel. You’re an angel in disguise’,” Linda Williams-Dogget said.
Williams-Dogget may be the only reason Ashunti Grayson is still alive.
“He was probably going to kill me,” Grayson explained.
A masked man forced Grayson and her 4-year-old nephew into a house on Pettite Cove late Friday night.
“A boy had put a gun to my head,” the little boy said.
The family was robbed at gunpoint and Grayson was kidnapped and taken to a park where Williams-Dogget pulled up as the man was beating Grayson with his gun.
“Just to see him the way he was beating her,” Williams-Dogget said. “He was hitting her to where he didn’t want her to have her — he was trying to kill her.”
Williams-Dogget said the man fired his gun at Grayson as she ran for her life.
“I unlocked the door and I told her to get in. And she got in, and I just saw all the blood just dripping all down her face and her hands was bruised,” Williams-Dogget described.
Grayson was brought to the Raines Police Station where several officers came out to help.
“It was so many police officers who came out that door to save her and the only thing she could do was just touch me,” Williams-Dogget said. “She just kept telling me ‘you’re my angel’.”
Linda Williams-Dogget and Grayson want the bad guy who did this off of the streets.
