On Thursday, May 31, 2018, at approximately 8:33 a.m., officers were notified that a female suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest was dropped off at Metroplex Hospital.  The 31 year-old victim was subsequently airlifted to Baylor Scott & White Memorial Hospital in stable condition.

The preliminary investigation revealed that the shooting incident occurred in the 800 block of Sissom Road.   The victim and a female suspect were involved in a verbal altercation about the use of a vehicle, when the suspect produced a handgun.  The two females began to struggle over the keys and the handgun, when the handgun discharged, striking the victim.

On Friday, June 01, 2018, this case was reviewed by the Bell County District Attorney’s Office, and a complaint was returned charging 38 year-old Nazeema Nicole Augustin with Aggravated Assault with a Firearm. Augustin was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Bill Cooke and he set her bond at $100,000.  Augustin will be transported to the Bell County Jail.

This summer, Killeen Police Officers will be dispensing well-deserved Slurpee^® justice “tickets” to good kids in Killeen. For the 23^rd year, 7-Eleven^® is working with local police to distribute free Slurpee^® drink coupons to children and youth through its popular Operation Chill^® community-service program.

During 2018, up to 1.4 million Slurpee coupons will be issued to almost 1,100 law enforcement agencies; more than 1,100 of those will be distributed in Killeen, most during the summer months and back-to-school season.

Officers will be looking for kids who might be helping another person, deterring crime or participating in a positive activity in the community.  Although the reasons for being “ticketed” are varied, the end result is the same for every youngster: a free Slurpee drink and a smiling kid. Each coupon can be redeemed for a small Slurpee drink at participating 7-Eleven stores.

“We are always looking for ways to help our officers build strong relationships in the community,” said Chief Charles Kimble. “Operation Chill makes it easy to interact with kids in a positive way.”
