According to the District Attorney’s Office, the shooting stemmed from a verbal altercation at Jack Holland Sr. Skate Park on June 15, 2023, during which Stevenson allegedly shot the victim.
Cook is accused of assisting Stevenson by hiding him to help him evade arrest and prosecution for the murder.

Stevenson is scheduled to appear in court on October 21.
