Instead of paying, Hill pulled out a handgun and began shooting at the victims as he ran towards his truck. The victims followed Hill on the North Highway 69 feeder road. Hill fired multiple shots while driving to the Chinn Lane exit. More shots were fired at the victims near Guseman Park. He was arrested the same night of the shooting. The jury convicted Hill for aggravted robbery. Hill was initially being represented by Laurie Perozzo in Judge Raquel West's Courtroom. An hour into the trial, Hill decided to represent himself.
