When officers arrived, they found a 22-year-old man shot in the head.
The woman's friends told police her ex-boyfriend, 26-year-old Irkan Notta, became angry that she was at the apartment to pick up her belongings.
The victim and two others were leaving the area in three different vehicles, according to police.
That's when Notta allegedly opened fire, shooting out the rear window of the victim's pickup truck, grazing him in the back of the head.
He was taken to the hospital, where he was reportedly conscious and speaking with officers at the hospital.
Officers said they were called to the area because the same couple was fighting hours earlier.

"Officers initially received a call of a disturbance around 11 p.m. (on Friday) involving the suspect and his ex-girlfriend. Officers came to the location and assisted the female in getting some belongings together and leaving for the night. It did not appear that any crime had been committed at that time," Officer Jose Ortega said.
Notta was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and given a $100,000 bond.
