Brewer had planned on shooting his mother and had texted his friend, who has autism, to bring him a gun.
The friend did not bring the gun, but offered a knife instead. The friend’s knife wasn’t used in the crime.
Gray was left in critical condition when Brewer fled in her car with his friend and girlfriend.
The friend’s mom reported the crime when her son told her Brewer killed his mom, according to the news outlet. One witness said they heard banging coming from Brewer’s home.

While hanging on to life, she was able to tell police, ‘Toby did this.’
‘The victim was covered in blood and had multiple stab wounds on her body,’ a probable cause affidavit obtained by Law & Crime read.
