According to police, Amardi Richard Stotts was taken into custody on July 7, 2023.
The shooting happened earlier that morning near 69th and Carmen Ave.
Surveillance video caught a white van, driven by 48-year-old Dale Young, stopping alongside a red pickup truck.
Multiple shots rang out from the truck, causing Young to exit his vehicle which slowly rolled down the road.
The truck then sped off.
Officials said Young suffered from 15 gunshot wounds. He was taken to a nearby hospital before he died from his injuries.
New court documents reveal there were 11 bullet holes in the passenger side of Young's van. More bullet fragments were found during the autopsy.
The reports show Young had been at his niece's place, where she and her ex-boyfriend were also present.
According to the criminal complaint, Young had gotten into a verbal argument with the ex-boyfriend where he then pulled out a firearm.
Documents said Young and the ex-boyfriend left the house, where the latter then called Stotts and told him what happened. He was still on the phone with the defendant when records say Stotts' truck pulled up with a rifle barrel extended through the window.
The ex-boyfriend told police he heard "multiple shots" before he ran back to his ex-girlfriend's house.
When she allegedly refused to leave, the ex-boyfriend then headed to Stotts' house where nearly 30 minutes after the shooting, Stotts arrived in the red truck.
Records said Stotts told the ex-boyfriend "...he knew he hit the victim at least twice" before adding that he "wanted to kill him."
If convicted, Stotts could face decades in prison.
