According to TMZ, Kemp was trying to get back some stolen goods that were allegedly taken on Tuesday.

In a video that was taken by a witness, Kemp could be seen driving off and throwing his gun into a bush. Subsequently, he found the police and immediately began talking to them as he wanted the authorities to track down the other half of the altercation. Eventually, he was arrested and booked on a felony drive-by shooting charge.
Police Audio
Now, TMZ has police audio from the situation. As you can hear above, the police say, "two subjects firing shots at each other." Moreover, it was made clear following the incident that Kemp shot his gun over five times. However, it is also now being reported that Kemp allegedly acted in self-defense.
