(ABC 6 News) – Rochester police took two people into custody Saturday morning, after they allegedly confessed to a drive-by shooting.

According to public information officer Amanda Grayson, at about 4 a.m. March 30, dispatch received several reports of gunfire near 41st Street NW and East Frontage Road.

Officers on the scene did not locate evidence of gunfire at the intersection until an alleged victim called about 40 minutes later.

According to Grayson, the caller said she was in a vehicle on East Frontage Road, and had stopped at 41st Street NW when a vehicle in front did a U-turn and fired multiple shots.

According to Grayson, the caller recognized the people in the suspect vehicle, and police arrested 27-year-old Torria Sims and 25-year-old Joseph Simmons Jr. at about 10:45 a.m., in the 4500 block of 18th Avenue NW.

Court documents filed Monday

According to documents filed Monday, April 1, Sims and Simmons Jr. were each officially charged with aiding and abetting drive-by shooting toward a person, aiding and abetting 2nd-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, and terroristic threats.

Rochester police believe Sims actually fired a gun toward two women on the morning of March 30.

According to court documents, the woman who called dispatch to report the shooting said she had been at a party at the Quality Inn on Bandel Road Friday night.

The caller allegedly left the party around 4 a.m. in a red vehicle, and were following Sims and Simmons in a white Tahoe.

The caller and witness said Sims was in the passenger seat of the vehicle, when Simmons made a U-turn and struck her red car. Both reported hearing several gunshots.

The other woman in the car allegedly told police “at the point of the shooting,” she and the caller were “out of their car wanting to fight Sims.”

Neither the women nor the car was hit.

Police allege that Sims said the caller was chasing her and Simmons Jr., that the people in the red car shot at them, and that they fled.

She later said she shot the gun, but “they were just warning shots,” according to court documents.

Court documents allege that during his trip to the ADC, Simmons Jr. threatened to find his arresting officer’s address and “pull up” to his home when he got out of Olmsted County jail.

He later indicated that Sims had shot the gun in “self-defense,” according to court documents.

Both suspects are currently held at the Olmsted County ADC on $125,000 bail with conditions, or $250,000 bail with no conditions. Their next appearances are scheduled for April 9.
