The inquiry originates from a shots-fired complaint received at 4:20 p.m. near the 2100 block of 90th Street, when responding police discovered Chad Read, 54, deceased on the scene.

Further, Carruth claimed she hadn’t spoken to her estranged husband after the incident but was “extremely concerned” about his mental health.
