Minutes later, officers stopped a speeding vehicle that matched witness reports. The driver was Jamie Grachek. Passengers were Gary Glenn Webb Jr. and Jacob Gipson. Price later identified Webb as the shooter, while Gipson was seen fleeing with him, per Oxygen’s reporting.

Detectives said the visit was planned as a robbery during a separation and custody dispute. A dispatcher heard multiple shots over the open 911 line, and neighbors described a getaway car. Early claims about threats were handled as allegations from witnesses and filings, not as adjudicated facts, per Dayton Daily News (March 18, 2014).
