Murder suspect returns to county

Friday, March 12, 2004

BENTON - Randy Lamon McKeller, 22, is back in Scott County, where he will face charges of first degree murder and armed criminal action.

McKeller was been sought for nearly a year in connection with the May 24, 2003, shooting death of 19-year-old Trevor Neal of Sikeston. He was arrested Wednesday in St. Louis.

Scott County Prosecutor Paul Boyd said McKeller will be arraigned on Tuesday in Scott County Associate Court. "No bond will be set because of the nature of the charge and the fact that he took off," Boyd said.

DPS officers arrested Justin Robinson of Sikeston in connection with the shooting on May 24. He is charged with first degree murder, armed criminal action and kidnapping.

Bound over to Circuit Court on the charges in August 2003, Robinson is scheduled to be tried on July 15.
