Acting Insp. Ian Plummer told reporters on Sunday that both the victim and suspect attended a party in one of the industrial buildings in the area. It is unclear at this time if they were known to each other.

“Investigators are urging Kevin Chippie to seek legal counsel and surrender to police immediately,” Oakes told reporters on Monday.
In a news release issued later on Monday afternoon, police said Chippie turned himself in to police.
Chippie has been charged with second-degree murder. The charge has not been tested in court.
