Upon entering the apartment, police discovered a man who was visibly dead at the scene. The cause of his death has not been released by authorities. Further information and the identity of the parole officer are pending after “proper notification of next of kin,” according to police.
Police are continuing their search for Sewell and have issued a warrant for his arrest, charging him with second-degree murder.
