They say Graves was trying to steal the vehicle belonging to two victims. One victim confronted Graves who allegedly pulled out a gun, which was reportedly stolen, and threatened the victim.

A second victim came out of the home to find Graves pointing the gun at them. They called 911 as Graves walked away.
