Sinclair was at Ebanks' home on Nov. 15, 2006, when Ebanks and a woman went into a bedroom. But Sinclair kept interrupting to ask for various items, and Ebanks lashed out, slapping Sinclair with the flat part of a machete.
Sinclair left and came back, knocking on the window for Ebanks to let him back in. Then he pulled a gun and shot Ebanks several times.
