Court records showed that a friend of Myrie told investigators that they had seen James hold a handgun toward the 15-year-old and tell her that he would kill her if she messed around with other guys, Fox 45 reported. The encounter was witnessed through a three-way FaceTime call.
James remains held behind bars.
The funeral for both Myrie and Allen was held Tuesday, a day before McCullough announced an arrest in the case.
