By Lucy Perry Indiana Central News A murder suspect walked away a free man two years ago after being charged with a Terre Haute man's shooting death. Today, the Terre Haute Police Department said the suspect won't be able to put the past behind him-- just yet. Sunday, an arrest warrant was issued for Zavius E. King, 25, of Shelbyville, Kentucky, for multiple charges on the same incident, including: Murder, robbery, armed robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon.
King was initially arrested a short time following the murder of Ronnie Caldwell, 48, of Terre Haute. The victim was reportedly shot multiple times at a residence in the 1500 block of Elm Street Sept. 7, 2018. He later died at the hospital. According to the THPD, those charges were dismissed at the request of the Vigo County Prosecutors Office. A twist in the story has since occurred. In fact, new evidence has surfaced, causing the THPD to revisit the case -- and once again, they say the evidence is pointing to King. The THPD has not elaborated on the details of the case at this time. King is currently incarcerated in the Shelby County Detention Center on unrelated charges. He is expected to be extradited to Vigo County soon. More information will be provided as it becomes available.

Quinn Martin II, 24, was booked into the Vigo County Jail and charged with the following:
Martin was taken into custody after eventually getting stuck in the snow at an unplowed intersection near a housing complex, Indiana State Police Sgt. Matt Ames said, noting the suspect was also found to be wanted on multiple warrants. Speeds reached just under 100 mph. "The pursuit traveled through several city streets with the driver disregarding stop signs and traffic lights," Ames added. According to the report, the pursuit began when ISP Putnamville Trooper Brad Fyfe was patrolling on US 41 near Hulman Street. He initiated a traffic stop on the suspect vehicle for an equipment violation around 10:30 p.m. Once stopped in the snow at the intersection of Wheeler Avenue and Krumbhaar, police were able to take the suspect into custody. Martin reportedly appeared to be impaired at the scene, but refused to submit to a certified chemical test. -- Assisting: Several Troopers from the Putnamville State Police Post, Vigo County Sheriff's Department, Terre Haute Police Department and West Terre Haute Police Department. |
