Jonathan Bromfield told police he was driving a gold 2007 Chevrolet when he noticed a white work truck "following closely and driving agressively," according to court documents.

"The vehicle drove along next to the victim on the left side," the documents explained. "The victim stated under oath that he observed a white male driving the vehicle. He heard a loud gunshot and saw a handgun in the driver's hand."

Bromfield told police that he followed the driver and got the license tag from the vehicle. He then called 9-1-1.

Police found a bullet hole in the rear driver's side window of Bromfield's vehicle. They found a Ruger .380 handgun in Gray's right front pocket.

Bromfield subsequently identified Gray as the person who shot at him. But Gray denied firing the weapon at Gray.

"In the interview, the defendant admitted to being at the scene of the shooting and yelling at the victim, but he denied shooting at the vehicle," according to the court documents.
