Officers subsequently found the suspect, who “had intended to locate the victim regarding a personal dispute and had armed himself with a handgun with the intent to kill the victim,” according to police.

Police arrested Frank Perry for attempted murder, larceny, assault with a deadly weapon, discharge of a firearm in city limits and for being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm.
