She said that she went to his neighborhood in the early morning hours, spotted him and followed him, even going the wrong way down a one-way street.
At one point, Sharber 911 to report her dispute with the ex, the complaint states. Dispatchers told her to stop following her ex, and the call ended with a sound of a crash.
If convicted of the murder charge, Sharber faces up to 40 years in prison. She is being held in the Hennepin County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bail.
