The police say that Quadarius McDowell was under the impression that his vehicle was being stolen when he opened fire, resulting in the death of the 24-year-old employee who was operating the vehicle while it was being moved to a different location. McDowell was arrested for second-degree murder in the incident.
According to the report filed by the police, McDowell ran away from the business but was subsequently taken into custody after a very short amount of time had passed.
McDowell, who is thirty years old, has been charged with murder in this case. There was no indication in the paperwork we received from the jail as to whether or not he had a lawyer with him.
