Kemp was booked into jail in connection with a drive-by shooting outside the Tacoma Mall, but was released a day later after more information was revealed into what happened.

Kemp reportedly had property stolen from his car on Tuesday, so he tracked his iPhone to Tacoma on Wednesday and when he approached the vehicle, a suspect shot at him. He fired back in self-defense.
