Investigators said that a preliminary investigation revealed Tapp, who police said was "possibly homeless", was involved in a previous incident with Stocker, who shot Tapp in the leg in August 2017. Stocker was arrested on Jan. 11 after he was charged with aggravated assault for that shooting, police said.
