Police said a man walked into the CEFCO on N. Third Street about 2:20 a.m. Sunday and asked to speak to police, according to police spokesperson Officer Shawana Neely.

When officers arrived, the man told them he went to his friend's home and found him dead on the floor, Neely said. He left and went to CEFCO to call 911.
