A statement of statement provides more details about an argument between Willsey, Reichert and Timothy Wyman Smith, 64, who was captured on surveillance videos.

On July 29, a dispute for refrigerator at Casa Garden Avenue, where Willsey lived led to Reichert apparently hitting Willsey.

According to a witness who gave a statement sworn in October 2024, Reichert and Smith were talking in the main bedroom and Willsey was in a bedroom, when Smith said Willsey is going to press accusations against Reichert for assaulting him and that he would “snatch” him.
