The arrest reports said the trio were attempting to rob a man around 2 a.m. near the 2200 block of Northwest 2nd Avenue.

Video surveillance showed the three suspects in a white Audi that slowed down as the victim was crossing the street, the reports said.

The car stops and Johnson started driving while Adams and Mathis started following the victim, the reports said.

Adams then approached the victim, pointed a gun at him and ordered him to the ground to rob him, the reports said.

Moments later, there was a struggle between the victims and Adams, who shot the victim multiple times, the reports said.

Johnson then picked up Adams and Mathis in the Audi and they fled the scene, the reports said.

Police haven't released the name of the victim.
