When officers arrived on scene they were told that a male with dreadlocks, who was wearing a black shirt and black jeans, was seen holding another male down on the couch and beating him up. The aggressor, who was later identified as Dominique Rogers, was allegedly holding a gun at the victim, who was later identified as Henry Frazier. According to a witness, who entered the room after hearing gunshots, Rogers yelled at Frazier to “give it up as if he was robbing him.”
