Early was pronounced dead at the apartment complex.

Investigators later determined that Joshua Nash, 22, was the shooter. They say he lives in Cincinnati, Ohio and should be considered armed and dangerous.

Detectives obtained warrants to charge Nash with murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
