According to the criminal complaint, witnesses told police Tilbury and the victim, 44-year-old Jade Nickels got into a physical altercation, when Nickels was shot. Tilbury then fled the scene before officers arrived.
Court records show authorities tracked Tilbury's footprints through the snow to a garage in a nearby neighborhood. Authorities used a robot to access the service door, and flew two drones inside but could not find Tilbury.
A police dog was called in to track Tilbury, who was found hiding inside the trunk of a vehicle. Tilbury surrendered and was arrested.
Records show authorities found a black semi-automatic handgun in the rafters of the garage, and a magazine in the bottom of a gas can in the backyard.
Tilbury's next court appearance is on January 31st.
