A taxi driver miraculously survived a brutal attack after being shot multiple times, with the bullets getting stuck in her fat tissue. Brandy Littrell, aged 40, was ambushed by a customer who abducted and shot her, leaving her fighting for her life. This terrifying incident unfolded in 2021 when Brandy, then 36, was serving as a Lyft driver in Mississippi for five years.
During November of that year, Brandy responded to a ride request from Dontarius Magee, now 20, who asked to be picked up. Upon reaching Magee’s location at his apartment, he suddenly brandished a gun, threatening her. Under duress, Brandy complied with his demands, surrendering her belongings and moving to the backseat as he seized control of the vehicle and drove recklessly.
As the harrowing ordeal progressed, Magee coerced Brandy into revealing details about her home, where she lived with her 76-year-old grandmother, Dorothy. Eventually, he forced her into a secluded area in the woods, where he callously aimed the gun at her, ordered her to kneel, and mercilessly fired at her seven times.
Despite believing he had fatally wounded her, Magee fled the scene, leaving Brandy severely injured but remarkably alive. With the bullets narrowly missing vital organs, medical professionals attributed her survival to her weight, as the bullets were embedded in her fat. Subsequently, Brandy was rescued and received medical treatment, leading to her eventual discharge from the hospital, although emotionally scarred.
Following a lengthy legal process, Magee pled guilty to multiple charges, including attempted murder, armed robbery, carjacking, and kidnapping, resulting in a 30-year prison sentence. Brandy, reflecting on the traumatic experience, highlighted the absence of remorse or apology from Magee, labeling him as “evil and cold.”
This courageous account of survival underscores the resilience and strength exhibited by Brandy in the face of adversity.
