AND THEY DO BELIEVE THIS IS DOMESTIC RELATED. WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND LISTEN IN. RESPONDED TO THE LOCATION BEHIND ME IN REGARDS TO A MALE WHO HAD BEEN SHOT. WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR IS THAT VICTIM, GLENN MORRISON, 69 YEAR OLD MALE, WAS SHOT BY 41 YEAR OLD SHELDON BRYAN MORRISON, WHO IS HIS BIOLOGICAL SON. SON THEN FLED THE SCENE IN A BEIGE OR GOLD CADILLAC SEDAN THAT WAS IN HIS POSSESSION. WE DO NOT HAVE A TAG ON THAT VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. HE\u2019S PRESUMED TO BE ARMED WITH A SEMIAUTOMATIC HANDGUN, AND HE IS CURRENTLY BEING SOUGHT FOR MURDER. CAN YOU TELL US WHAT LED UP TO THIS? SO IT\u2019S STILL REAL PRELIMINARY. I DON\u2019T HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO. THE SON RETREATED INSIDE THE HOUSE, CAME INTO POSSESSION OF A FIREARM, RETURNED TO THE GARAGE WHERE HE SHOT HIS FATHER. HOW DID YOU GUYS GET THE CALL AS A MALE SHOT IN THE GARAGE AT THAT LOCATION? I MEAN, WHO CALLED YOU GUYS? FEMALE CALLER PRESUMED TO BE THE VICTIM\u2019S WIFE. HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE HOME AT THE TIME? JUST THE VICTIM, HIS WIFE AND OUR SUSPECT. DID THE SUSPECT LIVE WITH HIS PARENTS? I BELIEVE THAT IS ACCURATE. ANY CRIMINAL RECORD? NONE THAT WE ARE AWARE OF AT THIS TIME. NOTHING THAT CAME TO OUR ATTENTION. NO PRIOR CALL HISTORY AT THIS LOCATION EITHER. ANY INDICATION OF WHERE HE COULD GO? WE DON\u2019T HAVE THAT INFORMATION RIGHT NOW. HE FLED THE AREA. WE THINK THAT POSSIBLY THE VEHICLE HEADED THROUGH TRADITION MAYBE GOT ON I-95 AT THAT POINT. BUT AGAIN, WE DON\u2019T HAVE A TAG. WE\u2019RE ACTIVELY WORKING ON GETTING A WARRANT TO. TRACK SOME TECHNOLOGY, BUT THERE\u2019S NO BELIEF THAT HE MIGHT HAVE DITCHED THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT. WE DON\u2019T KNOW. WE JUST DON\u2019T KNOW. WE KNEW WHAT HE HAD WHEN HE LEFT HERE, AND WE JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT ANYBODY WHO SHOULD OBSERVE, AND WE\u2019RE GOING TO SHARE HIS PHOTOGRAPH AND EBOLA WITH ALL OF YOU AND ANYBODY THAT SHOULD SPOT HIM, LOCATE HIM. PLEASE JUST CALL 911. DON\u2019T ATTEMPT TO CONTACT HIM. HOW DANGEROUS IS HE? IT\u2019S HARD TO SAY. YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO PRESUME THAT HE\u2019S DANGEROUS. HE JUST SHOT AND KILLED HIS FATHER AND FLED THE SCENE. BELIEVED TO BE ARMED. SO I CAN\u2019T STAY HIS STATE OF MIND, RIGHT? IT\u2019S OBVIOUSLY NOT NORMAL TODAY. ARE WE ABLE TO REPORT THE HOUSE NUMBER? I KNOW THAT WAS SOMETHING WE\u2019RE TRYING TO KEEP UNDER WRAPS TO NOTIFY. THE PIOS WILL GIVE THAT INFORMATION TO YOU. OKAY. AND, CHIEF, ANY YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE THIS ON HAND, BUT ANY PAST CALLS FOR SERVICE AT THIS RESIDENCE? HAS THERE BEEN ISSUES IN THE PAST? YEAH. I SAY WE HAVE NO PRIOR CALLS AT THIS LOCATION. SO NO PRIOR HISTORY BETWEEN THEM. WHAT DOES THE SEARCH LOOK LIKE FOR HIM RIGHT NOW? IS IT ALL ON, YOU KNOW, IN VEHICLES, ANY SORT OF HELICOPTERS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT? WELL LED LEFT THE AREA IN A VEHICLE AND WE BELIEVE THAT HE GOT SEVERAL MILES AWAY BEFORE THE FIRST LOCATION. WE SAW HIM TRAVELING. WE DON\u2019T BELIEVE HE\u2019S RIGHT IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA, ALTHOUGH ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. WE\u2019RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE U.S. MARSHAL SERVICE AND WE\u2019RE SHARING THIS INFORMATION OBVIOUSLY THROUGH NCIC WITH ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. SO WE\u2019RE ALL LOOKING FOR HIM RIGHT NOW. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THE SON HAD LIVED HERE WITH THE PARENTS? I DON\u2019T KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW. WHETHER PRIOR CALLS TO THIS HOME BEFORE. NO, NO PRIOR CALLS. AND IS THAT GUN LEGALLY LIKE, LIKE IN HIS POSSESSION? WE DON\u2019T KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW EITHER. GUNS NOT HERE. SO WE, YOU KNOW, ANY REASON WHY YOU WOULDN\u2019T BE ABLE TO GET A TAG ON IT ON THAT VEHICLE AND YOU HAVE IT? HE\u2019S KNOWN TO WORK ON ON VEHICLES FOR OTHER PEOPLE. SO THE VEHICLE THAT HE\u2019S DRIVING MAY NOT BELONG TO HIM. DO YOU HAVE TIME FOR 1 OR 2 MORE QUESTIONS? THEN WE GOT TO GET BACK TO IT. YEAH. CHIEF, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR MESSAGE TO HIM RIGHT NOW? I DOUBT HE\u2019S LISTENING TO THIS, BUT IF HE WERE TO BE, WHAT DO YOU HOPE HE KNOWS RIGHT NOW? INEVITABLY, THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION IS JUST TO PULL OVER. CALL 911, REACH OUT. LET US KNOW WHERE YOU ARE AND YOU KNOW, LET\u2019S HEAR YOUR SIDE OF THE STORY. YOU KNOW, DON\u2019T MAKE ANY POOR RASH DECISIONS AT THIS POINT IN TIME. ANY INDICATION THAT THE VICTIM WAS ARMED IN THIS? NO. CAN I JUST ASK ONE MORE OF THE COMMUNITY? WHAT YOU ASK COMMUNITY TO. NO. LAST ONE. THEN WE\u2019RE ALL DONE AGAIN. I\u2019D LIKE THE COMMUNITY JUST TO BE AWARE OF WHAT OCCURRED, WHO OUR SUSPECT IS, KNOW THAT HE\u2019S WANTED FOR MURDER AT THIS TIME, AND IF ANYBODY HAS INFORMATION THAT MIGHT HELP US LOCATE HIM, WE\u2019D LOVE TO HEAR FROM THEM. SO CONTACT 911 OR REACH OUT TO THE POLICE STATION AND LET US KNOW HOW THEY CAN HELP US, BECAUSE WE APPRECIATE THAT. AND IF YOU SHOULD HAPPEN TO SEE HIM COME IN CONTACT, PLEASE JUST DON\u2019T. DON\u2019T CONTACT HIM. DON\u2019T TRY TO TALK TO HIM. JUST CALL 911 AND WE CAN GET EVERYBODY. CHIEF. THANK YOU. EVERYONE OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SIR.
