She is known as the Queenpin of the Southside Gang but tonight Doris Grant is in critical condition at the KHMH after coming under heavy fire last night in a gang-related ambush. Jomarie Lanza has more.
Three gunmen fired as many as 30 expended shells into this Nissan Titan pickup at around 1:00 this morning as it crossed the Bel China Bridge.
Austin Underwood and Doris Grant, along with an associate, had just left the Princess Casino and were heading back to their home on the south side when they came under attack:
ACP Hilberto Romero, HNCIB
"This morning police responded to a shooting incident at the Belchina bridge upon arrival they learned that persons were in a vehicle and persons came and fired several shots towards their direction. The vehicle was driven to the Karl Heusner where Doris Grant was observed with several gunshot injuries, she is listed in a critical condition at this time. information is they were driving across the bridge when three male persons approached the vehicle and all 3 fired several shots towards the vehicle causing injuries to Grant. She was along with Austin Underwood and Andres Orozco a Colombia national. We are currently reviewing video footages and seeking persons in regard to this shooting."
"Approximately 30 shells were recovered,"
Reporter:
"And the type of weapon used?"
ACP Hilberto Romero:
"A 9mm pistol."
Police are certain it is gang related and it's not the first time Grant and Underwood have been attacked in this way.
The Reggae Street residents were previously targeted back in June of 2024 while leaving a concert. They were also crossing a bridge that time - and both received minor gunshot injuries. Grant's vehicle was described as "riddled with bullets".
In February of 2025, Grant's vehicle was burned on Vernon Street - right after a failed mediation meeting with another city gang.
And then on New Year's eve, 2025, her driver was killed as he sat inside her pickup - the gunman may have wanted to target Grant.
She continues to be a target of a rival city gang - and, with eh kind of firepower declared last night, that gap between life and death was razor thin.
For police, the priority is to make an arrest and quell any retaliation - which is not uncommon in this kind of high velocity attack:
ACP Hilberto Romero, HNCIB
"No motive has been established at the time."
"No suspects have been detained."
"We have several operations ongoing at this time to prevent any form of retaliation. And we have several operational units in the city doing patrols."
