He then fled the scene in a vehicle and crashed his vehicle. Boone then reportedly fled the crash scene on foot and went to a nearby residential neighborhood. While there Boone and another man scuffled over a gun, and as the victim was retreating Boone allegedly stabbed him in the back, pointed a gun at him, stole his car and fled the scene.
