Bruce Reginald Foster III, 28, will be arraigned Thursday, New Albany Police Chief Greg Jones said during at a Wednesday news conference.
“He has spoken with investigators,” Jones said. “I wouldn't call him fully cooperative.”
Licking County online court records did not list a defense attorney Thursday morning for the aggravated murder case under Foster’s name. Two possible phone numbers for Foster or a relative were not working Wednesday.
Police responding to a report of shots fired at the New Albany industrial park business Tuesday night just missed Foster as he took a rideshare away from the scene, Jones said. Teams of police, aided by drones and a police dog, searched the facility.
“It does appear that there was contact between a victim and the shooter,” Jones said. “At this point, I don't have a clear picture of how involved that contact was.”
Foster was found in an apartment in Columbus and arrested Wednesday morning. Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Dan Deville said a stun gun was used to subdue Foster, who had declined to surrender.
The shooting happened at the warehouse for a company that makes products including cosmetics and toiletries. About 150 employees inside the building were evacuated to the safety of a nearby building.
“Nobody reported that there was any conflict or that he was in trouble at work,” Jones said.
