Joshua Qauyshaun Rogers, 21, was arrested and booked into jail Monday afternoon on complaints of first degree murder and concealing stolen property.

Police say Foreman, 37, was conscious and talking when police first arrived at the Studio 6 Motel at 8181 East 41st Street, just east of Memorial. According to an arrest report, officers found him inside a black 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS parked outside the motel.
