On 3 July 2004 at approximately 9:10 p.m., David Leslie (Leslie) was driving home to the Villager Hotel. When Leslie exited his car, he was approached by a man he did not know. The man asked Leslie for a ride and when Leslie refused, the man pulled out a revolver and stuck it in Leslie’s face. Leslie gave the man and his accomplice his keys and the two men drove off in Leslie’s white Geo Metro.
Later that night, the two men, later identified as Defendant and Defendant’s brother, Thomas, were involved in a car accident while driving Leslie’s vehicle. Defendant, who was the driver, exited the vehicle after the collision and approached Olivia Sigmon’s (Sigmon) vehicle. Sigmon’s vehicle was at the intersection where the accident occurred, but her vehicle was not involved in the collision. As Defendant approached, Sigmon asked if Defendant and his brother needed assistance. Defendant responded by pulling out a gun from under his t-shirt and demanding that she get out of the car. Sigmon had three passengers in the car: her boyfriend, James Moss, was in the front passenger seat, and her eleven-year-old daughter and her daughter’s ten-year-old friend both rode in the backseat. As Defendant yelled through the opened window at Sigmon to give him the car, he stuck the gun in between the seat and right against her back, near her left shoulder. Sigmon told Defendant, “[l]et me get my babies out,” and as Sigmon tried to take off her seat belt, Defendant shot her. After Defendant shot her, he continued to try to gain entry into the car. At this point, Moss took the steering wheel and pushed Sigmon’s leg on the pedal, accelerating the car through the intersection. Sigmon later died from her injuries
