MPD says Hines and the other security guard tried to open Coats' car door to take him into custody, but he drove off into the apartment complex.

Hines told police that Coats drove toward him in his truck like he was trying to hit him.

Reports say security footage shows Hines firing multiple shots into the driver's side of Coats' vehicle as he was driving away. He then fired two more shots as Coats tried to drive out of the complex.

Once Coats exited the complex, Hines allegedly continued firing multiple shots at him.

Rickey Hines, 30, was taken into custody and charged with Criminal Attempt Second Degree Murder, Possession of a Firearm During a Dangerous Felony, and Vandalism of Property $2,500-$10,000.

Rico Coats, 38, was also taken into custody on a warrant for auto theft in February of this year when he allegedly stole his ex-girlfriend's car from her driveway.

He was charged with Theft of Property $2,500-$10,000 to wit: Auto Theft.

Bond for Coats and Hines has not been set, but they are scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
