Four women have been charged following an investigation into an alleged assault that occurred outside a Waterloo business earlier this month, according to the Waterloo Police Department.
Police said Lamyjah A. Fowler, 20, of Geneva; Robyn T. Ortiz, 19, of Geneva; Layla A. Estrada, 21, of Geneva; and Ayana S. Hall, 22, of Sodus, were arrested on June 3 and June 16 in connection with the incident.
The arrests stem from an incident on June 2 in which police allege the four women waited outside the victim’s workplace and approached the victim in the business parking lot after she left work. Investigators said the suspects then engaged in a physical altercation with the victim.
According to police, all four suspects struck the victim in the head multiple times and attempted to cause physical injury.
Fowler, Ortiz, Estrada and Hall were each charged with attempted gang assault in the second degree, third-degree menacing, fifth-degree conspiracy and disorderly conduct. Fowler was additionally charged with third-degree stalking.
All four were transported to the Seneca County Correctional Facility for arraignment and were later released. Orders of protection were requested on behalf of the victim.
The Waterloo Police Department was assisted by the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office and the Geneva Police Department during the investigation.
