Police also allege that Guerry robbed the teens during the encounter, demanding money and becoming upset when initially handed just $1. However, he allegedly said, “Do you think I’m f—ing stupid?” before taking $100 from them and leaving the scene.

After the incident, authorities say he went to a nearby casino, where he was eventually located and arrested. Guerry has since pleaded not guilty to multiple charges, including assault and robbery. Additional charges include unlawful possession of a firearm, while his bail has been set at $150,000.

The affidavit also recalls the suspect pressing the gun to the teen’s temple and making threatening statements. Before the shooting, the suspect reportedly pointed the weapon at all four teens and demanded their belongings. He also reportedly pistol whipped one teen in the face, leaving him dazed while grabbing his jacket collar.

“[The victim] stated the suspect … pressed the muzzle of the pistol into [the victim’s] right temple,” according the affidavit. “[The victim] remembers the gun being cold as it made contact with his temple. As the suspect did this, he said things like ‘You think that’s funny?’ and ‘I’ll kill all you white boys in this car right now.’”
