All of the suspects were armed and had their faces covered with masks. Once inside the residence, they forced the occupants to the floor and robbed them of the belongings and money. They had been informed that there was a safe in the house, so they forced one of the occupants to show them where the safe was located. They took the safe with all its contents. Pettiford confessed that he shot one of the victims in the butt because he wasn't moving fast enough.

The victim died as a result of gunshot wounds to the right thigh, left shoulder, right arm and the back of his head. Pettiford also confessed that he shot another victim in the head as he was exiting the residence. This second victim died as a result of a gunshot wound to the head.
