Johnson says the unidentified 36 year-old male victim was at Oliver’s house earlier Tuesday on County Road 1361. He left and that’s when Oliver started sending threatening text messages to the victim.

Johnson says Oliver threatened to kill the victim and his young child.

The victim went back back to Oliver’s home and that’s when he was shot in the torso.

Oliver is a convicted felon.
