Officers initially did not find any suspicious activity but were told additional information a few hours later that prompted them to request a search warrant for a nearby home, police said.
While executing the warrant, police found the suspect sleeping and took him into custody. They then found evidence indicating someone had been injured and discovered a man's body wrapped in several blankets inside a bedroom.
An autopsy showed the 29-year-old victim died from a gunshot wound. That person's name has not yet been disclosed.
