Plant-Jae testified the two of them played video games and drank alcohol during the day before the shooting.

He also said Allgood was suppose to come by the next day but never showed up.

“I asked him why he didn’t show up and he said he’d been talking to the cops about something that happened and that was pretty much it, he never went into detail,” Plant-Jae said outside of court.
