A combination of witness and DNA evidence led police to release a description of a suspect earlier this month, and on July 25, officers arrested Zachary Brandon Roulette, 24.

"At this point it's completely random and the information from the investigators is that there is no known motivation for the attack. These two people were not known to each other prior to the attack," said Const. Tammy Skrabek.
