SEATTLE (AP) - Washington state authorities have charged a man with murder after he evaded capture for four months.
The Seattle Times reported Thursday that 29-year-old Simeneh “Joe” Feleke was charged with murder and unlawful possession of a firearm. Prosecutors say he fatally shot 32-year-old Mussa Wago in May following an argument.
King County prosecutors say Feleke, a felon under supervision, was arrested two weeks ago with help from witnesses on suspicion of violating the conditions of his release.
Authorities say Feleke had spent two years in prison after pleading guilty to drug and other charges. Authorities say he was released from prison in February.
Bail for Feleke in the murder case was set at $2 million and an arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 10.
