Text: Jackson's brother, Shawn Bowie, testified that Jackson came to his house on the night of the killing to use his phone to call the police because McEwen had taken her car and purse. Shortly after the call that summoned Officer Weaver for the first time, Bowie saw McEwen drive by in Jackson's car. Bowie assumed he was returning to the house around the corner that he shared with Jackson. Soon thereafter, Officer Weaver arrived in response to the first call and took Jackson back to her house. Jackson called Bowie a short time later asking him to assist her with her car still in the street in front of the McEwen-Jackson residence. After Bowie concluded that the car would not start, Jackson gathered several items from the vehicle and yelled to McEwen, who was standing on their porch: I'm getting ready to go call the police, you getting ready to go to jail.... McEwen and Jackson began to argue and Bowie started walking back to his house. Bowie continued: [T]hen I just seen [McEwen] come up, just come out and just swing at her, jab at her like that, two times. Jackson dropped her things and swung back at McEwen with a Club steering wheel anti-theft device. As McEwen retreated to his house, Bowie saw what he could fairly tell was a knife in his hand. Bowie ran to his sister and she cried out: [H]e stabbed me. Bowie's precise distance from the quarrel at the time of the stabbing is unclear from the record. Jackson lay prostrate after the altercation until she was taken to a nearby hospital where she died about an hour later.
