The police arrived on site and found a resident who completed the CPR on a man who was later identified as Williams. But it was “obvious that he had died,” said the affidavit. Witnesses told the officials that they saw, like Hensel, armed with a weapon, went from the leasing area to Williams when he drove the ATV. Hensel called Williams something, but witnesses could not see what he said. Shortly afterwards the witnesses heard two loud pony.

Hensel supposedly went back to the leasing office and said: “I killed him.” Police officers took Hensel in custody and recovered a gun nearby. The surveillance video confirmed that Hensel was supposedly the shooter. It showed him that he went out of the rental office with his firearm and in a nearby building, where he was “in the wait”, according to the police. Hensel then shot Williams when he rode past, said police officers.

Detective also checked the office manager's call with a man in the background, who, according to an affidavit, said “This Motherf – Elder Dead”.

The local CBS subsidiary WKMG said that she knocked on the door of Hansel's apartment. The woman who answered was the leasing manager, who initially called in 911. However, she told the outlet that she lived with Hansel, but declined to continue to speak because the owners of the complex told her that she should not speak publicly about the case.
