The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office on Friday identified the man as Eric D. Holmes.
The suspect remains jailed without bail pending a possible charge of murder. The Star Tribune generally does not identify suspects before they are charged.
According to police and a search warrant affidavit filed by police seeking court permission to search the dead man's cell phone:
A nephew of the victim called law enforcement and reported finding him unresponsive in the bloodied residence in the Strawberry Commons condominiums.
Officers arrived and saw the man had been shot in the head twice. Emergency responders declared him dead at the scene.
