Funeral arrangements are set for a Pulaski County man found murdered in his home early Saturday morning.

When they arrived, officers were not able to get Carrender to come to the door. Maintenance personnel assisted them and Carrender was found dead inside his apartment. The initial investigation showed Carrender had been the victim of a homicide, and died of bluint force trauma to the head.

Detectives have identified a person of interest in the case, but that person’s identity has not been released.
