According to an arrest report, the victim, Dre'Naya Ponder, was one of four women who were in the Jaguar, including her sister, 24-year-old Taniyria Holt of Atlanta.
Holt told investigators that the group was recording themselves on their cell phones and Holt was using a firearm owned by one of the other women when the shooting happened, the report said.
Holt "racked the firearm and observed a live round being ejected. Thinking the firearm was free of live rounds, Ms. Holt said she went to pass the firearm to [the victim] but accidentally shot her," the report said.
