According to the Chicago TribuneWashington went to his friend’s apartment, where they spent time together chatting and smoking. However, they got into an argument that escalated when the woman raised her voice, and Washington became “increasingly angry,” according to Assistant State’s Attorney Julia Ramirez.

Washington kept telling his friend to lower her voice, but that only served to frustrate the woman further. But when she told Washington to leave her apartment, he pulled out a gun and shot her in the arm and leg, according to prosecutors.
