- Police have not identified a suspect or confirmed a motive in the downtown fatality and have released no names while the investigation continues.
- Separate from the downtown case, officers responded just after 9:30 p.m. on Saturday to the Motel 6 on Southport Crossings Way where a woman was found shot and reported in stable condition.
