Federal prosecutors said Joshua Hemphill, 32, went to his former partner's apartment in a fit of rage the morning of Sept. 21, 2018. They said he fired a round into the door and then made his way inside the home. Once inside, he chased his ex-partner and another woman into a small closet, firing more shots into the closet at close range, prosecutors said.
