Early Tuesday evening as APPD was preparing for basic training, a masked man was noticed on top of the theater by an officer. When spotted by the office, the suspect attempted to make an escape but the other officers were quickly notified and all made a pursuit towards the theater. Soon after their approach a scream was heard from the upper level of the theater. Once the officers entered the building they discovered Richard Ellson, the security guard of the victim Mackenzie Jay, dead at the scene. Mackenzie Jay was found lying and cuffed in front of the apartment over the theater.
An officer left after the theater was cleared to search the surrounding area for suspects. Ems were called to the scene for the victim. After speaking to the victim, Jay told the police the suspect fled through the window of the building. Additional officers joined the search of the area. Only one man was approached in the nearby park. He was questioned and searched by the police because he was in close proximity to the crime. The man stated he had no knowledge of the crime and was soon released by police to resume his personal affairs.
At this point, the suspect is still at large. The police are looking for a man of average height, blue pants, brown jacket, black hoodie and a full face mask. Jay claimed the man also had the strong scent of burning flesh and blood. Suspect was as of last night armed and with a silenced weapon. Any leads to the capture of this individual should be sent to the APPD.
