After more time of Williams appearing to communicate with the white male, Williams retrieved his firearm from his pocket and attempted to charge a round into the chamber.

Once the white male drove off the scene, Williams placed the firearm back into his pocket and walked towards the gas station.

Lance stated that while attempting to leave the gas station, a black male started cussing at him and asked him “what are you looking at?” Lance stated he responded by saying, “I was trying to see what the noise was.” Lance said the black male said, “People die for stuff like that.” Lance stated the black male then started walking towards him and pulled out the firearm – he cocked the firearm and stated, “I could kill you right now.” Lance stated Williams then threatened to throw a lighter into his vehicle to blow him up.
