When Mr. Codling and another man, Kiyondrea Redfield, tried to rob Blount, Gregas rammed her vehicle into the side of her boyfriend’s Dodge Durango. Mr. Codling and Redfield then got out of the Durango and ran to the white Nissan sedan that they arrived in. The Nissan was driven by Felder.

Gregas then rammed her vehicle into the driver’s side of the Nissan before leaving the area, deputies said.

Redfield is still at large and there is a warrant for his arrest for second degree murder and felony possession of marijuana. Anyone who knows his whereabouts is asked to call 911 immediately.
