Police used warrants to search the garage and the apartment across the alley, both of which are rented by Madison.
A car which he had access to was also towed from the scene.
A bystander at Sunday's search scene who knew Michael Madison says he knew him as Ivan Carter. Police haven't confirmed whether or not Madison has any known aliases.
The same bystander also says it seems as if Madison always "had something on his mind," but appeared to still be a normal guy.

It's possible that Madison may face criminal charges as early as Monday morning.
