French and Martin were roommates, and they got into an argument just 15 minutes before the shooting, according to an arrest warrant.
Authorities said French moved in with Martin in September. Martin texted his landlord, who was also French's uncle, saying, "What's up talk to your nephew," just 15 minutes before the killing.
Martin said French was slamming doors and cabinets, as well as punching walls and walking around with a knife, the warrant reads. A witness reported that the shooting happened right in front of her.
