Crime Alert, I'm Nancy Grace, breaking crime news now.

Erica Tate gives her child's father a ride to her Tennessee apartment to pick up his car.

He asks to use the restroom so Tate hands over the key.

When Dad walks inside, a man armed with an AK-47 threatens to shoot.

Dad runs to his car, drives away while shots are fired.

The gunman then hops in the car with Tate and the two drive off together.

and killed her child's father when he entered.

The victim's catalact was shot multiple times, causing about $9,000 in damage.

Tate now charged with facilitation of first-degree murder.

The gun charges aggravated kidnapping and vandalism.

Wadsworth now back in jail facing two drug charges and parole violation.
