Surveillance video showed that an exchange of gunfire between Booker and another gunman, the passenger of a tan 2006 Ford F-150, resulted in Booker’s death. The owner of the truck voluntarily turned it over to police after hearing reports that police were looking for it, the Vanderbilt Hunter reports.
