“[The victim] stated the suspect … pressed the muzzle of the pistol into [the victim’s] right temple,” according the affidavit. “[The victim] remembers the gun being cold as it made contact with his temple. As the suspect did this, he said things like ‘You think that’s funny?’ and ‘I’ll kill all you white boys in this car right now.’”
