looks like the “victim” and the would be robber and accomplice all knew each other. Clearly, it’s just a spat between drug dealers.
Had this been a regular woman defending herself from a creep, I’d say “that’s my kind of girl!” but maybe she isn’t in this case...
I don’t know how you get that out of the story. It says it was a drug related robbery. That could easily mean that the perp was trying to get money for drugs. The victim could have been anyone.
It’s one of those today’s victim is tomorrow’s suspect scenarios
