According to a previous News Center 7 report, a witness told authorities that he was in the area picking up DeArmond to take him to Wendy’s.
On the way, DeArmond noticed his phone was missing and thought someone had taken it, according to court records initially filed in Clark County Municipal Court.
After driving back to the area, a fight broke out, which ultimately led to the deadly shooting.
DeArmond’s sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 14, according to court records.
