SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A man wanted on a murder charge in Illinois has been arrested in South Dakota.
The Sioux Falls Area Task Force arrested 28-year-old Jonathan Kelly on Sunday after being alerted by U.S. marshals in Illinois that he might be in the area, where he has acquaintances.
Kelly is wanted in the April 1 shooting death of Jenni McGruder in Galesburg, Illinois. McGruder was struck by a stray bullet after leaving a bar on Easter.
Authorities say Kelly was arrested without incident and is jailed in Sioux Falls pending extradition to Illinois.
