Rosemary, who had followed her husband down the stairs, pleaded with him to stop. Cipriano is then said to have handed Young the weapon and told him to 'keep his mother quiet'. He allegedly struck her in the head.

Ian Zinderman, who calls himself Tucker Cipriano's "best friend," was a key witness in the trial and the only witness who claims to have heard Tucker Cipriano and Young discuss the robbery and killing beforehand. Zinderman said he first met Young about two weeks prior to the attack at a friend's home. The three discussed robbing and killing a family, possibly Cipriano's. Tucker Cipriano feared returning to jail because he'd violated his probation and wanted a car and cash so he could flee the state, Zinderman testified.

Twice, Zinderman said he boosted Tucker Cipriano into a garage window at the Farmington Hills home where a gift card and check card were stolen from Robert Cipriano's vehicle in the garage. After the first trip, they were able to fuel up Young's truck and buy spice, a synthetic drug that is smoked to get high and now banned in Michigan.

While at a Mobil gas station, Zinderman claims Young and Tucker Cipriano again began talking about killing Cipriano's family stealing valuables and a car, which they would use to flee the state to Tennessee or Mexico. The father was going to go first I mean, he was the biggest threat. Less than 10 minutes later, police believe Zinderman was dropped off at a friend's home in Keego Harbor where all three planned to spend the night. McCarthy questioned Zinderman's credibility, pointing out that he was testifying under an agreement with the prosecution that he receive immunity for his crimes, including breaking and entering and accessory to murder after the fact.
