As Patch previously reported, police responded the evening of Jan. 28 around 10:24 p.m. at Landmark Apartments, where a single victim was found shot to death.
Investigators at the time said Hall was not a resident of the apartment complex but was visiting friends there.
Kennedy went on to say investigators determined that Hall was allegedly targeted for a robbery and was subsequently shot, with illegal drugs being involved.

“This has been a very complex investigation, and it is still ongoing,” he said on Feb. 15. “The suspects developed have extensive criminal histories and took great pains to obscure their crime, destroy evidence, and elude capture.”
Kennedy then said the investigation was ongoing and that investigators believe that additional individuals have information.
“Citizen involvement was crucial to this case,” he said. “We appreciate the support of the community and want to encourage that support now and in the future.”
