Investigators said that Addison, who worked at the T.G.I. Friday's, shot and wounded a 23-year old man outside the restaurant when the man was walking back to his car.
A criminal complaint says that Addison and the victim's current girlfriend had a previous relationship.
Pappas said it was the shooting victim who showed up at the restaurant with some of his friends, and targeted Addison.
