New details in Whisky J’s assault

LONGVIEW — Newly released records have provided more details about an alleged assault outside Whisky J’s in Longview last month that left a woman seriously injured. According to arrest affidavits and our news partner KETK, officers responded to the bar on the morning of June 21 after reports of an assault in the parking lot.

The victim told officers she was walking through the parking lot after leaving the bar when she was suddenly attacked by multiple people. She said she did not know the suspects or have any prior issues with anyone inside the bar. She described one attacker as a Black woman wearing an orange wig.

Investigators interviewed several witnesses, including a security guard who told officers he heard a woman say, “The next white b***h that walks out, I’m going to hit her,” before seeing a group of women assault the victim. Two other witnesses also told officers they saw multiple women attack the victim, while another said he heard someone say, “Any white girl can get it,” and “Free Karmelo” before the assault began.

Court records show investigators later identified the suspects as Ciarrianne Fuller, Dejae Brown and Alana Mumphrey.

After Fuller’s arrest, investigators obtained a search warrant for her cellphone. According to the affidavit, officers found a group text created on the day of the assault that allegedly included messages saying, “We gotta get our story straight friend,” and, “We shouldn’t have did that s**t bro.”

Brown and Mumphrey later surrendered to the Longview Police Department, while Fuller was arrested. All three women are charged with assault causing bodily injury. Police have said they believe the incident was isolated.
