Randle, 40, declined to comment when contacted by the Chronicle today.
Houston homicide investigators say Calderon, who is licensed to carry a concealed handgun, alleged he was acting in self defense, but his story does not match the accounts provided by numerous witnesses.
"He's very knowledgeable about gun laws and about when he can and can't use his weapon," said Sgt. Brian Harris of the Houston Police Department Homicide Division. "There are no indications this was self-defense."
The confrontation began when Calderon's 1998 Cadillac struck Randle's Nissan Altima Wednesday night and kept going, police said. Randle told police she sped up to the Cadillac and wrote down its license plate number. She then passed the Cadillac, police said.
Randle's daughter then told her the man in the Cadillac was chasing them, the criminal complaint shows.
The shooting happened at 8:20 p.m. when the two cars reached the 3900 block of Westhampton Drive and one of the bullets went through the back windshield of Randle's Altima and hit her daughter in the head. Police believe the girl was turned around in her seat, looking out the car's back window and talking to her mother as Calderon chased them when she was shot, Harris said.
Randle then stopped her car. When police officers arrived, they saw the wounded teen lying in the street before an ambulance rushed her to the hospital. Randle gave Houston police the license plate number she had written down.
A Houston police officer went to the home on Heatherbloom, the address where the Cadillac is registered, and was greeted by Calderon's father, Roberto Calderon, who said he knew why the officer was there and that his son had "done something terrible," the criminal complaint shows.
Richard Calderon then came to the door and said he had done "a terrible thing," the report shows. He admitted firing the .9 mm handgun that he gave the officers and admitted shooting at Randle's vehicle, the complaint states.
