Wainscott allegedly told the witness that he shot someone that looked like the suspected drug dealer and that he "had seven shots and made all seven shots count." Court documents said police watched a surveillance video of the crime scene and saw Hale knock on the door of 19 Elm Street. That's when a man allegedly came from behind a nearby car and shot him.
