David police that they left the bar and returned to the residence where they continued to argue, the prosecutor read.
Mamo retrieved Davis' gun from the dresser in the bedroom and Davis tried to get the gun away from her by grabbing her arm and the gun went off, the prosecutor read.
Davis told police he called his friend to come over and help. When the friend saw Mamo's body in the truck, he said he could not help Davis, the prosecutor read.
