According to a criminal complaint, the victim said Egerson came over that evening to help her move out of her apartment, taking some "tequila shots" while they were packing. She noted that she was a witness in an open case Egerson had for a road rage shooting and "he knew she told the police he was the shooter."
At one point, she said he "pushed her against the wall and said, 'What's stopping me from killing you? I'm not going back to jail because of you.'" She said he had a gun on his waistband, the complaint says. She said they moved one load of items to the new house, and on the way back to the apartment, Egerson started threatening her again, "telling her that he should kill her." She said he then choked her before she pulled over, and he got out of the car. She then drove to her mother's house "because she was afraid he was going to continue to hurt her."

About 15 to 20 minutes later, prosecutors say Egerson showed up and started shooting into the car with their two kids inside. The victim said she heard five or six shots as she tried driving away, and she realized she had been hit. She was taken to the hospital by ambulance. While there, prosecutors say Egerson sent a text saying, "U gone die."
The criminal complaint notes three other instances (February 2023, December 2022 and September 2022) when prosecutors say Egerson choked the victim and caused other injuries.
He was out on bail at the time; the criminal complaint noted two other open cases. Online court records show he was charged with felony bail jumping and resisting an officer in February 2023 and first-degree recklessly endangering safety and possession of a firearm in November 2020 (set for trial in June).

The new charges include stalking, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, strangulation/suffocation, battery, disorderly conduct and bail jumping.
"He does have three prior convictions," said Alexis Nash, prosecutor, as Egerson made his initial appearance in court Thursday.
Online court records show he was convicted of theft in a 2017 case, convicted of battery/disorderly conduct in a 2019 domestic violence case and convicted of disorderly conduct/criminal trespass in a 2019 case.

In court Thursday, Egerson asked the court commissioner a few questions, including if he would be able to see the kids he's accused of shooting at.
"And there's no way you can drop the no-contact order with my children?" he asked.
"Not at this time, sir," said Susan Roth, commissioner. "You can talk to your attorney about that."
Cash bond was set at $50,000.
