suspect intentionally ran over the victim. In the criminal complaint, the suspect claimed the two

were riding around in his vehicle, an argument developed, and he told the victim he wanted

him out of the car. When asked what the two were arguing about, the suspect told police in the

criminal complaint that the victim wanted to fight him and told him he could hit him and knock

him out during their argument. A video taken from a security camera at Leseberg Auto and

street. In the video it looks as if the suspect intentionally traveled onto the shoulder of the road

to hit the victim from behind, the complaint stated. A
