“Prosecutors charged Patterson with first-degree murder, saying that after he and Dawkins got into a dispute on Lynhaven Drive, he left to retrieve his gun, returned and shot Dawkins. Witnesses testified that they saw Patterson leave after an initial confrontation. In his testimony, Patterson said he left only to get handcuffs, mistakenly believing that he could detain Dawkins even though he was not in Arlington County and out of his jurisdiction. Patterson said that when he returned, Dawkins charged at him with something in his hand. Investigators later found that Dawkins was intoxicated and carrying a knife, but the weapon was folded in his pocket during the shooting.”
