Dig deeper:
Details about the relationship between Paljusevic and the victim were revealed previously in court.
Paljusevic and the victim had met at work and became friends. However, authorities said the victim's father had recently died, and Paljusevic was not invited to a private service, a fact that upset Paljusevic.
He allegedly told the victim to not be surprised if he saw him in public and something happened.
Paljusevic was described by the 25-year-old victim as "Jekyll and Hyde," who could be easy-going and then overreact. The victim's mother also described the suspect as possessive of the victim.
