KOKOMO — More than 16 years after the death of a 20-year-old man in Kokomo, two people have been arrested and preliminarily charged with murder.
On Tuesday, Kokomo police arrested a 48-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman in relation to the death of 20-year-old Chad Rouse.
WRTV will not name the suspects until formal charges are filed against them.
