Upon arrival, officers found a male victim lying on the ground, surrounded by concerned community members. The victim was unconscious and struggling to breathe, with a severe head injury.

Further investigation revealed that the victim had been escorted out of a nearby business before the assault occurred.

The Violent Crimes Task Force (VCTF) then launched a search for the suspect.
