Sitting in the passenger seat was Chaffin's ex-girlfriend, who is also the mother of his child.

A police officer who happened to be inside Dunkin' Donuts at the time witnessed the attack and confronted Chaffin, who ran from him. The officer chased Chaffin into the parking lot and took him into custody.
