Texas woman accused of shooting nail salon owner during pricing feud

A Texas woman was arrested for allegedly shooting a nail salon owner during an argument over prices, a report said.

Joana Vara, 21, and her 20-year-old sister Quetzali Vara got into a feud with the male owner of the Harris County business on May 29 after they got manicures and pedicures, KHOU 11 reported, citing authorities.

Joana paid for the services, left the store, then returned and shot the man as he tried to force her back outside.

The siblings fled the scene in Ford Fusion.

The victim was hospitalized in critical but stable condition.

Last Thursday, Joana was busted and charged with aggravated assault, authorities said.

Quetzali was also arrested the same day, though not in connection to the nail salon assault, Click2Houston reported.

She was charged with evading arrest during a traffic stop, the report said.
