Gastelum ran outside, trying to distract Butler, Reynolds said. Butler followed him and fired a shot but missed again, she said. Butler took about $200 from Reynolds and ran away, she said.

Reynolds said she didn't know Butler at the time of shooting, but later found out that she had bought a motor home from the suspect's sister. Reynolds testified that she was surprised the suspect called her by name in the house.

Butler is charged with robbery, burglary, attempted murder, two counts of assault with a firearm, obstructing a peace officer and a being a felon with a firearm. Court records show that Butler has prior convictions on possession of controlled substance and possession of a firearm.
