While dropping off a third person at their home, they witnessed the two get into the argument. As the fight ensued, the 19-year-old friend was stabbed in the neck during the fight. A second witness tried to help the friend and later attempted to get him to the hospital.

Hebert called 911 and waited for EMS and EBRSO, however his friend died from his injuries sustained in the stabbing.

After arrested, Hebert stated that during the fight, he grabbed a knife from the door of the vehicle, but the 19-year-old charged him and ran into the knife.
