Authorities have identified the 44-year-old man slain that remains under investigation.
Eric Spencer was killed April 10 at an apartment building on the 300 block of Idaho Street where emergency responders found him in critical condition. He died the next day at a hospital.
Bruce Brown, 5th Judicial District Attorney, said Thursday that investigators believe they know who killed Spencer but have yet to file charges against that man.
“We know enough to know who it was who fired the bullet,” Brown said.
The suspect was arrested just after Spencer was shot in the head but later released, Brown said. Investigators have recovered a gun as part of their investigation.
Spencer’s obituary in says he was a father who loved skydiving.
“He had a great heart, and he will be sorely missed by many,” the obituary said.
Investigators have not released a motive.
