At one point, the warrant said Baker told a third man, who was wearing a “red mask,” to shoot another person who had just walked into the party, but he didn’t shoot him.
From there, Baker, Dunbar and the third man all took off from the party in separate vehicles. According to a witness, the vehicles were parked in a way so they could have a quick getaway.
