Shawn Warnick entered Timothy Carlton's home on Wood Road and got into an argument with Carlton before repeatedly punching him in the head July 29, according to court documents. Carlton suffered severe brain injuries and went into cardiac arrest.

First responders found Carlton, 53, unconscious and took him to Strong Memorial Hospital, where he died two days later, police said.
