A witness drove to a food store at the above address when she was approached by a male who she knew, and the two began talking next to her car. As the two talked, Guillory and an unknown male arrived in a silver Chevrolet Impala and Guillory exited the passenger side with a pistol in his hand. Guillory confronted the male, and Beal, witnessing the confrontation, retrieved a gun from his vehicle. Beal then approached Guillory and shot him several times.
