Investigators determined Boodoo was behind the wheel of a Toyota Highlander and had passed the victim, who crashed into the rear bumper of the Highlander, the report said.

Boodoo got out of the Highlander and approached the victim's car while calling for emergency services, the report said.

In the 911 call, the victim is heard telling Boodoo to drive to a nearby parking lot to continue the process, the report said.

But the report said that as the victim began driving past Boodoo, Boodoo was witnessed shooting three rounds at the victim's car, hitting the victim.

After he was in custody, Boodoo gave police a "self-serving statement," the report said.

Boodoo was charged with second-degree murder and shooting a deadly missile, and was booked into jail where he remained without bond Monday, records showed. Attorney information wasn't available.
