The victim and her daughter had just returned from church before the shooting, the arrest report states. The daughter heard Alexander and his wife having a conversation and told police, “it did not appear to be an argument, and they had normal tones,” the report states.
The daughter went to her bedroom and later her mother came in and handed her two sets of keys, requesting she hold on to them.
The daughter told investigators, “this is normal when [victim] does not want Emmanuel driving the vehicles,” the report states.
About 10 minutes later, the daughter reported hearing gunshots followed by the victim running out of the apartment, the report states.
The daughter locked her door, called 911, and climbed out the bedroom window to assist her mother, the report states. As she tried to help her mother, Alexander exited the apartment and began demanding the car keys and the daughter complied.
