The residents informed the officers that their house had been shot up at around midnight and that poiice had responded to the call and located discharged cartridge casings. Offlrcers could see approximately 5 bullet holes in the window glass. As they were taiking to the residences, lwo black maies, possibly in their early 20's, approached fiom the west and began arguing s'ith the residents of 450 i Camden Avenue North, accusing them of the shooting on Bryant Avenue North. Neighbors in the area told the officers of conflicts befween individuals ra'ho frequented the tll'o addresses. Cfficers spoke to known \\/itness 3, who had called police with inl'ormaiion about the identity of the shooters.

Defendant told the witness that he was on the porch area of 4501 Camden Avenue Noith u,hen it had been shot up by unknown individuals. Defendant was angry and believed people associated n'ith 45 i 5 Bryant Avenue North were responsible. Defendant went to the residence and fired into the house i.vith a handggn. Defendant told the witness that he had made his peace with God and was sorry about the baby.
Witness 3 attempted to get Defendant to turn himself in, but Defendant refused to do so because the poiice "didn't have nothin' on him."

He admitted being at the Camden address just prior to the house being shot up and returning to the residence shortly thereafter when poiice had responded to the call. The Codefendant said that some of the bullets peneh-ated into the porch area ghere he had just been sitting. The Codeiendant was confronted about reports that he was responsible for setting off the chain of events that lead to the murder of N.A.G. Officers told him that they kneu' he had pointed a gun at some guys at the local conrrenience store the night before, u'hich lead to the Camden address being shot up a:rd the retaiiatory shooting of the victim's home. The Codefendant initially denied his actions at the store, but later ad.mitted that he had "upped the gun" at the guys u'ho he had heard talking about how he was from the "other side." On June 28,2012, officers located both Defendant and Codefendani and arrested them. Defendant and Codefendant were seen leaving a hotel where they had been staying with the residents of 4501 Camden Avenue North. Defend,ant, Codefendant and another young man got into a velLicle registered to Jamica F{olden, one of the residents of the Camden home.
