UPDATE: Shooter claims he had been released from mental facility the day of young teen's murder
Per police records, Crowder has bought a 9mm handgun on July 23, but he was placed on hold for a background check until July 29.
Shortly afterward, Crowder was put into a mental health facility and released on Aug. 5, the day of the shooting.
Police say Crowder, after his release, picked up the gun and went to the Circle K on 36th Street and Campbell Avenue, where he fired the gun in the parking lot to test it.
According to officers, Crowder then drove to the home, planning to shoot a specific person, and parked outside for about 10 minutes to contemplate what he was about to do.
