On April 22 at approximately 8:14 p.m., officers observed individuals trespassing on a posted property in the 500 block of Cedar Street. Clarence Roosevelt Beck III, 49, who had previously been banned from the location, was identified and issued a criminal citation for trespassing.
On April 24 around 1:57 p.m., officers on Pine Street heard multiple gunshots, followed by a ShotSpotter alert reporting three shots fired on Douglas Street. At the scene, officers recovered three spent shell casings, a live round, and located a vehicle damaged by gunfire. Surveillance footage showed a suspect fleeing the area.
Later that day, officers spotted a suspect matching the video description near Douglas and Wells Streets. As officers approached, the group fled.
