Detectives said Thursday they have identified Charles Lee Randolph, 31, as a suspect. Police believe Randolph killed 31-year-old Shelly Lokken at the bar in the northwest part of the city early Tuesday.

The victim was found tied up and shot once in the head, execution style. At least one witness saw a gray Cadillac leave the scene with its lights off. The car was later recovered in the parking lot of a homeless shelter and an inspection connected it to the crime.

Randolph is considered armed and dangerous, police said.
