The sheriff's office said at the time of Serafini's 2023 arrest that a subsequent investigation led to Serafini and Scott as suspects.

Scott took a deal in February and pleaded guilty to being an accessory to a felony, according to NBC News affiliate KCRA. She then testified against Serafini at trial, admitting to having an affair with him.

She testified that she gave a ride to Serafini the day of the shooting, but believed it was because of a drug deal, KCRA reported. Scott told the court she later suspected Serafini might have been involved in the attack, but that Serafini later admitted that he "shot Wendy twice in the head and once in the hand and survived it,” according to KCRA.
