Picture this: It’s Christmas afternoon in Miami, and what was supposed to be a cozy family brunch at the Red Rooster restaurant quickly turned into full-on holiday chaos. 🍗🎄


According to police reports, 50-year-old Roseita Lavette Smith got into a heated argument with her son inside the restaurant — not about the weather, not about Christmas dinner, but over “disrespect.” Yes… disrespect. 😬


By around 3 p.m., the mother-son squabble continued outside in the restaurant parking lot. Witnesses say tempers flared as the two got into Smith’s vehicle. Then, in a moment that left onlookers stunned, Smith allegedly pulled a gun and fired — striking her own son in the thigh as he stepped out of the car. 💥🚑


First responders found the young man bleeding and rushed him to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition. 😮‍💨


But the drama didn’t end there — Smith fled the scene, only to be tracked down later by Miami police. She now faces charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and is being held without bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. 🔒


In her statement to investigators, Smith claimed she acted in ‘self-defense’, alleging her son threatened her and refused to leave her car — and that she feared for her safety based on his past behavior. 👀


Now the internet is buzzing, mouths are dropping, and folks are seriously side-eyeing Christmas brunch forever. 😩
