“Witnesses told officers that[the man]jumped out of a second-story window and ran into his office, shortly after Kennedy Greene walked from his apartment to his car with what appeared to be a rifle in hand. He said he saw him go,” the affidavit said. “Witnesses were familiar with the suspect because they had previously played on the same sports team.”
Witnesses said the victim was taken to a local hospital before police arrived.
