Police say in a news release that Evan Rain, 30, and Judith Saulteaux, 30, were arrested and charged with first-degree murder in relation to Singh’s death.

They say they’ve released Singh’s name for an investigative purpose, as well as to alleviate public safety concerns.

Police say they do not believe anyone else was involved in Singh’s death and a weapon was recovered during the arrest.

An autopsy is scheduled for Monday.

They say detectives continue to investigate what led up to the shooting and are asking anyone with information to contact them.
