Corpus Christi Police Department

CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS - (News Release) On Saturday, August 17, 2024, at 9:33pm, officers were dispatched to the 1500 block of 7th Street in reference to a shooting with injuries.

Officers arrived and located a 44-year-old male suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg. Officers provided medical aid until medics arrived. Medics then transported the male to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Officers were able to determine that the male’s roommate, 39-year-old Jamie Sandidge, shot the victim and then barricaded herself inside of her residence when officers arrived. Officers with Patrol, the Gang Unit, the Hostage Negotiations Team and Drone Operators spent over two hours attempting to communicate with Sandidge, but she refused to exit her residence.

SWAT officers were called to assist on scene and continued dialogue with Sandidge. At around 12:27am, Sandidge was compliant with officers, exited her residence and was placed into custody. She was arrested for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and transported to the City Detention Center for booking.
