According to an affidavit, five people, including the victim, were standing on the street when a Chevy Trax drove past and shot at the group. The vehicle did not belong to Clayton, but he was borrowing it from someone.

Police learned the shooter, Clayton, told a friend he recently shot someone and shot the wrong person, according to the affidavit.

Clayton was found guilty in April 2022 in a separate case of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and served over a year in prison.

He was arrested and faces charges of possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, firing a weapon from a vehicle and first-degree murder. He is held on no bond.
