The trio of men went inside the Hayes Street home, and a short time later, witnesses reported hearing a gunshot.
Based on witness interviews and surveillance video, police said the Suttons fled the residence after the shooting.
Hargrett was not a resident of the building and was located in a room rented by another man known to him.
Investigators subsequently developed information that Eugene Sutton had traveled to an Ashland residence after the shooting.
