A man who was inside the home at the time of the shooting told police he was in his bedroom when he “heard a slapping sound coming from the basement.”
Turner then reportedly came upstairs and told the man that he “messed up and that he needed help.”
Police obtained Ring camera video from inside the home. In it, they could hear yelling from the basement and five gunshots.
Turner was then seen coming up from the basement around 10 seconds after the last shot. Court documents note he could be seen holding a gun before shoving it into his shorts pocket.
Turner was later seen on another Ring video leaving the home.
Police searched for Turner for over 12 hours. He was eventually taken into custody after being spotted by a couple walking down the street.
He is set to be sentenced on March 25.
