After the shooting, the witness was first dropped off at a gas station, while he believes Wooten and the fifth person in the vehicle were dropped off at Wooten's girlfriend's apartment, records state. The witness never spoke about the shooting afterward until Womack and Taylor were arrested. He spoke to Wooten who told him to leave.
