Louisville, Ky. – A Kentucky judge has ordered a suspect in a 3-year old murder in Terre Haute to return to Vigo County. Zavius King faces charges in the 2018 shooting death of Ronnie Caldwell in Terre Haute.

Officers originally arrested King shortly after the murder, but The Vigo County Prosecutor’s Office dismissed that case due to a lack of evidence. Then, one year ago, police in Louisville found the alleged murder weapon while working on an unrelated case.

Police in Louisville also said a confidential informant came forward and claimed King used that same weapon to kill Caldwell. He is expected to be extradited next week.
