Detectives were able to identify a suspect, Ross Letham, and obtained footage of Letham fleeing the scene in his vehicle after the assault. Multiple witnesses were also identified and provided corroborating statements. Letham was later located during a traffic stop and arrested. Letham has been charged with F2 Manslaughter in our case.
