According to court documents, Gray was attempting to sell one ounce of marijuana to a regular customer. However, Jamel Roane, 25, arrived and Gray let him in assuming he was picking up the marijuana.
Roane then paid Gray with two $50 bills that Gray immediately recognized as being counterfeit. When Gray confronted Roane about the bills Roane pulled out a gun and held Gray at gunpoint.
Roane then briefly turned his back and Gray ran and grabbed his pistol. Gray then chased Roane into the apartment stairwell.
Gray told police that Roane fired one round at him and Gray then "emptied" his magazine, hitting Roane several times.
Roane was then driven by his friend Derrick Ervin, 22, to Ball Memorial Hospital where he later received treatment for his wounds.
Roane is charged with robbery, criminal recklessness and counterfeiting. Ervin is also charged with counterfeiting.
