Joe, the front seat passenger, told the others he was going to shoot at the group with a gun he concealed in his waistband; Larry the driver, drove the car closer to their rivals. When the car came to a stop sign, Bob, who was a back seat passenger, exited the car after he told his friends he could not go to jail as he was on parole. Larry then drove past their rivals as Joe fired several shots; one person was killed and one other was shot in the leg.
