Frantz agreed to the drug deal and arraigned to buy from an acquaintance, known as “Duce,” according to the report. Duce was later determined to be Dickerson.

Frantz agreed to sell the pot for $120. Dickerson would get $100 and Frantz planned to keep $20 for himself. Frantz and Shoemaker agreed to meet outside a home for the deal.

The dealer got into Shoemaker’s Kia and sat in the front seat. He said he gave the teen the pot and she handed him the money, according to the report. That is when a Black man in the backseat put him in a chokehold. Another suspect grabbed his legs and pushed him into the vehicle.

Frantz said he was robbed of the marijuana, broke free and fled from the vehicle, according to Fox43. The Kia then sped away from the area.

Frantz told Dickerson he was robbed, and the suspect got very angry, Fox43 noted. The two then drove off and spent a half-an-hour looking for the Kia.

Eventually, they spotted and followed the car. Dickerson then pulled next to the Kia and began shooting into it.

The Kia went down a street and wrecked, while the two suspects drove away, according to the report.

Shoemaker was shot and killed in the incident. While a 17-year-old was injured and a 16-year-old suffered a broken arm in the crash.
