Approximately 45 minutes after the police had arrived at the scene of the murder, a black man opened up the door of a nearby bar, stood in the doorway, and flashed a handful of money for approximately 30 seconds and then left. Kuykendall was identified as that person. Riley testified that Kuykendall, who he knew as Diz, came to Riley's apartment around midnight. Kuykendall stated that he had shot a man and asked if he could hide in Riley's apartment. After weighing the evidence, the jury believed the State's theory and convicted the defendant.
Aggravated robbery is the taking of property by force or threat of bodily harm.

Shortly after the murder, defendant was seen flashing money in the doorway of a bar in the vicinity.
