In the weeks after his death, public information was sparse: initial reports and memorials confirmed the basic fact of the homicide, but did not name suspects. Some news outlets referenced a later arrest in a homicide on West Main Street, but it was not explicitly confirmed that the arrest pertained to Spencer’s death. The investigation remained active and family and community members sought answers.
