His body was discovered about 6:30 a.m.; witnesses said they had heard a man yelling and a gunshot around 2 a.m. that morning. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Lee initially denied involvement but later confessed after being confronted with DNA evidence collected at the scene. Lee told police he was an Uber driver who arrived at the apartment complex in response to a call, heard Fersner arguing with another man, tried to break up the fight, then pulled out a gun and shot Fersner in the chest before fleeing. Bond was set at $250,000 and murder charges have been filed; the investigation is ongoing and Crime Stoppers has offered a reward for information.
