(KNSI) — The Minneapolis Police Department says a woman wanted for murder in the twin cities and who may have been hiding out in St. Cloud was arrested in Texas.
Authorities say Erica Shameka Roberts is charged with second-degree murder for the shooting death of Tanasha Austin in Minneapolis on March 18th. The shooting allegedly stemmed from a verbal argument between the two.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara says Roberts’s arrest “marks the second arrest of a homicide suspect by MPD in the last 24 hours, and it is a result of a collaborative effort between law enforcement and our community. We are grateful to the public for providing information that ultimately led to this arrest, to CrimeStoppers, and to the Longview, Texas Police Department for working together to ensure that justice is served in Minneapolis and across this nation.”
Extradition efforts are underway.
