According to the criminal complaint, police were dispatched to the area near 67th and Villard early on the morning of April 12 "after a body was discovered in an alley by a citizen." The victim, later identified as Cannady, was found laying on the ground, fatally shot. A medical examiner's report indicates Cannaday suffered six gunshot wounds.

Police obtained surveillance video from a home near to the crime scene. The complaint says it shows a car pull into the alley.

Said video shows the second occupant raise his arm towards the subject...shoot towards him and backpedals towards the car. The occupant from the driver's side (the shooter) then re-enters the vehicle and the car drives away at a high rate of speed."
