The fatal encounter unfolded on October 10, 2021, at the Camelot Apartments on Old Warren Road. When police officers arrived at the scene in response to a shooting, they discovered Perry's body.
Near the young man, authorities found a handgun. A 67-year-old man was present at the location and was identified as the individual apparently responsible for the shooting.
This man was taken into custody without any resistance and was described by police as being fully cooperative with the investigation.
In the immediate aftermath, law enforcement officials stated that the investigation was ongoing.

However, no further information regarding any arrests or the identity of the suspect has been made available in subsequent reports. The case remains without a publicly disclosed resolution.
