Hall and  Jones committed crimes on April 7. Around 10:30 p.m. April 7, Jones drove Hall to the victim’s residence.  At the residence, Hall pulled an unknown type firearm and fired multiple times at the victim.  As members of the residence fled and searched for cover, the rounds struck the victim’s car and home.

Hall approached the victim, struck her in the head with a firearm and took her cell phone.  While the victim was attempting to escape the scene by car, Hall and Jones chased the victim in their car and fired shots.  One of the rounds did strike the victim’s trunk.

The victim ran inside a local convenience store to use the phone to call the police.  Hall entered the store and took the store phone away from the victim while she was making a call.  Hall then attempted to force the victim inside the vehicle, her and Jameria Jones occupied.
