When they arrived, police found Foston unconscious with a single gunshot wound to the chest.
On the day of the shooting, phone records showed Thompson’s girlfriend, co-defendant Makayla Bolston, called and texted Foston consistently inviting him over to her home. When he arrived, Foston was confronted by Thompson and another unknown man who told him to leave.
Foston refused to leave until he spoke with Bolston.
An argument ensued between Thompson and Foston, and Thompon shot him in the chest and left the scene.
