Witnesses were able to provide investigators with a description of a man seen running away from the area, which led to the arrest of 18-year-old Robert Salley Jr. of Rochester. He was captured and the suspected murder weapon was recovered less than an hour after the deadly shooting after he was tracked to an area along Marion Road Southeast near the Oak Terrace Estate mobile home park.

Salley is being held at the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center. Captain Moilanen's statement issued Friday night indicated he is expected to be charged with second-degree murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
