He's been identified as 55-year-old Matt Lambert.
Police say the man killed, the man he killed was 46-y old James Stewart, the property manager.

US Envoy Steve Witkov said today that Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to allow European officials to join the next round of Ukraine peace talks, but the Kremlin would not confirm that agreement.
Putin met with Witoff and President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, for about two hours at the Kremlin today.
The meeting capped a week of diplomacy that produced a major prisoner swap, but no firm commitments toward ending the war.
Putin reiterated his sharp differences with Europe over how to achieve peace.
What do we hear from the Europeans?
Once there is peace in Ukraine, they intend to deploy troops into its territory, which would mean the continuation of the war.
That circle has closed.
Wikoff and Kushner then flew to Ireland to meet with Ukrainian President Fuimir Zalinski this evening.
He also stressed that Europeans should be at the next talks.
Earlier today, Zalinski said that Ukraine is experiencing another slowdown in Star Shield, the military-grade SpaceX satellite service used by Ukrainian forces on the battlefield.

The Israeli military says it was targeting a Hamas commander and other militants, but the commander was not identified among those killed.
In the aftermath, hospital workers who had been caring for patients found themselves in need of care and described the trauma of the attack.
The scene was truly terrifying.
People screaming in the rooms, walls destroyed, blood everywhere.
We lost one of the doctors.
Five wounded lay right in front of the offices among many others who had been hurt.

The announcement raises questions about how the president plans to end the war.

Instead, the president is asking Vance to focus on what he's claimed to be massive corruption and crime taking place in cities and states run by Democrats.
