Police have identified a suspect in the murder of a Troy man found dead Wednesday in his home.

Shane Shemar Dunlap,24, also known as Shane Smith, is wanted in connection with Scott’s death.

Troy Police released a photo of Dunlap Wednesday as a person of interest in the suspicious death of Willie Charles Scott, 58, of Troy. He is now charged with capital murder in the case.
