Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit Commander Captain Jack Kennedy said two other people were also in the SUV when the other vehicle pulled alongside them. The charge was elevated to capital murder due to the suspect committing murder from within a vehicle and that the victim was murdered while within a vehicle.

He then said it is believed that the incident stemmed from an ongoing argument over a relationship with a woman.
