Detectives conducted a voluntary recorded interview with a witness who identified themselves to law enforcement. This witness stated that they were driving on Statesville Road and saw a female lying on the ground near a vehicle and a black male pulling items from the trunk of the that vehicle. 

The witness described the male as wearing a gray hooded jacket with denim on it and gray sweatpants. Officers reviewed camera footage near the scene and observed the defendant walking in the direction away from the scene towards Sunset Road.
