The district attorney’s office said ina news releasethis week that Dorsey, 24, had been distraught after discovering Salazar-Chavez, 17, was dating another 24-year-old man who was in the Army and had made a surprise trip home to visit Salazar-Chavez on Veteran’s Day last year.
Brandon Wilson, the boyfriend who Dorsey didn’t know about, had noticed Salazar-Chavez was acting “withdrawn” after he surprised her at home, according to the district attorney’s office. He then began questioning whether she was dating someone else behind his back and “demanded to see her phone,” the district attorney’s office said.
Wilson then searched the teenager’s phone and discovered a suggestive text from Dorsey, leading him to call Dorsey’s phone number, hanging up before saying a word.
Then gunshots rang out. “Wilson turned the car around to leave and the shooter continued to unload into the vehicle,” the district attorney’s office said. “In all, 20 bullets pierced the body of the car.”
