Police arrived to the scene to find Conway restrained by multiple witnesses.
Witnesses say Conway laid on top of the victim, struggling over something, until the victim went limp. Once the victim went limp, Conway rolled off of him and pointed a gun at his head and a misfire click was heard before a bystander kicked Conway and began fighting over the gun.
