Police have identified two suspects they said are responsible. Jaiden Colon, 21, is in jail on murder charges. Police are still searching for 18-year-old David Travis.
Now, a third person has been arrested in connection to the case, Easton Perkins.
After Shaw was killed, police removed his front door, which was pierced with bullet holes, and removed it as evidence. They boarded the door up.
“All of our neighbors are spooked. It’s going to take a while to get back to normal,” a neighbor told Channel 2 Action News.
But police said Perkins ripped the boards off and broke into Shaw’s apartment, stealing some of his property.
