Jones was on his cellphone with a roadside assistance operator when Raja approached and their initial interaction was recorded, according to the State Attorney's Office findings.

According to the transcript of the call, Jones is first heard saying, "Huh?"

"You good?" Raja asked.

"I'm good," Jones said.

"Really?" Raja responded.

"Yeah; I'm good," Jones said.

"Really?" Raja replied.

"Yeah," Jones said.

"Get your f------ hands up! Get your f------ hands up!" Raja said.

"Hold on!" Jones said.

"Get your f------ hands up! Drop!" Raja said.

After saying, "drop," Raja fired three gunshots within two seconds.

After about 10 seconds, Raja fired three more shots — this time "more deliberately" with one shot every three seconds, the report said.

"Oh my gosh!" the operator can be heard saying on the recording after the first round of shots. And then, "There's gunshots," after the second volley, the report said.

Raja did not identify himself during the shooting, according to the recording, and "there is no question that Jones ran away from Raja," according to the probable cause affidavit filed by prosecutors.
