An arrest affidavit showed Boisette entered the store many times throughout the day on Friday starting at about 1 p.m. and created a disturbance. The report says several 911 calls came from the store.
Just before 7 p.m., Boisette confronted the victim about her firing. He ignored her and she shot him in the arm.
Boisette allegedly followed the victim to the bathroom where he was hiding and tried to shoot through the door, but the gun had a malfunction.
The manager was transported to Broward Health Medical Center and survived the shooting. He told police, per the arrest report, that he knew Boisette for 2 years and they were friends outside of work.
Boisette is being charged with attempted felony murder and is currently held without bond.
