Original Story:
Charging documents shed new light on what led to a February 8 homicide in Laurel.
Police say it all began one day prior when Christopher Rojas, 27, called them for help in locating his stolen car.
Rojas believed a man with braided hair took his car from the area of Russett Green East and Laurel Fort Meade Road.
Officers took note of a "distinct" black and gray hooded sweatshirt Rojas was wearing, and a woman named Rakyia Talley, 46, accompanying him in a gray Nissan Altima.
Rojas found his missing vehicle later the next morning on the parking lot of a nearby business.
Police say Rojas, wearing the same hoodie as the previous day, went inside the business with Talley seeking information about how the car ended up there.
During that conversation, Rojas saw Antwaun D. Conyers walking by and allegedly singled him out as the man he believed took the car.
Rojas was heard saying he would shoot Conyers.
Rojas and Talley left the business, got inside her Altima, and followed Conyers to Russett Green East.
Approximately six-minutes later, Conyers was shot dead.

A 911 caller reported seeing Conyers drop to the ground after a gray Altima pulled up beside him.
Police zoomed in on the car in question, which came back registered to Talley. She's being held without bail and is scheduled for a March 8 preliminary court hearing.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Rojas, but he's yet to be taken into custody.
According to online court records Rojas was given probation before judgment after being convicted of a misdemeanor handgun possession charge last August.
Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to call detectives at 410-222-473 or the Tip Line at 410-222-4700.
