Finally, the victim left the blackjack table to cash out. The three men watched the victim cash in $20,000.00 in chips. When the victim left, escorted by a security guard, the three men followed him off the boat. They walked out separately in order not to arouse suspicion.

On a remote stretch of I-49 in DeSoto Parish, the defendant shot the victim's tires causing at least one to go flat. The victim pulled over to the side of the road, and Wilson drove past him. Wilson made a U-turn in the median and traveled north on the opposite side of the interstate. He stopped the truck about one-half to three-fourth of a mile past the victim's truck.

The defendant and Shaw ran across the median toward the victim while Wilson stayed with the truck. Shaw carried an unloaded shotgun and the defendant carried a loaded .22 caliber rifle. Shaw and the defendant were gone about 10-15 minutes. Upon returning, the defendant told Wilson that the victim struggled with Shaw and attempted to take his gun away. At that point, the defendant shot the victim three to four times and returned to Wilson's truck.
