According to a press release, multiple Department of Public Safety Court Service Officers heard the shots and responded on foot from the courthouse to the area of 1st Avenue and Cushman Street and found Rolando Pressley, age 26, lying on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds. 42 year-old Matthew Lee Myers was apprehended and taken into custody.
