According to the criminal complaint, Cabrices died after being shot near 15th and Grant early on June 7th. An autopsy indicated Cabrices suffered three gunshot wounds.

The woman told police, according to the criminal complaint, that Walton (aka Boo) approached a man near 15th and Grant. He then "demanded the guy's money and the guy said he would not give it to him. Boo then fired a warning shot and he shot again." The complaint goes on to say "the guy was shot in the leg because the guy jumped and it looked like he grabbed his leg." After the shooting, the complaint says "Boo gave the gun to another guy who was in Boo's car." That person along with "Boo" and the woman all ran away. Cabrices was found dead a short time later.
