Police said they found Virginia Lewis, 65 shot to death inside the building, but no one else was there.

According to the arrest affidavit, Cousins had a disagreement with Turrentine over a vehicle Cousins sold him.
But the vehicle had a lien on it and it was repossessed.
Vandermeer told detectives Cousins called him to come to Bill’s Auto Sales.
When he got there, he said he saw a man and woman on a couch bleeding, but alive.
Vandermeer said Cousins told him to tied them up with rope and he did.
