The victim had his cell phone stolen from him several days ago. Since then, he managed to track down the person who had the phone and agreed to pay that person a $125 reward for its return. The cell phone was returned to the victim this morning, but he was unable to pay the reward. A scuffle broke out and the victim was shot.
