“Ray was then confronted with numerous statements made by co-actors that they were present [at the] shooting on 29th Street and so was Ray. Ray then stated “those stupid niggers shouldn’t be talking and they can’t talk for me.” When confronted with statements by [Miriam Myles] that Ray was shooting a nine-millimeter on 29th Street [and] in a statement by Sylvester Townsend ... that Ray had a .45-caliber pistol[,] Ray then said “tell me which gun killed the girl and I’ll tell you everything.””
