District Attorney Jason Schmidt has announced that 33-year-old Darius Kadenhead was indicted Tuesday... and, was later arraigned in county court on one count of second-degree murder in connection with the death of 28 year-old Marlon Clay at the Parkview Apartments on Jan. 22. Schmidt says Clay had "sustained a single gunshot wound to the back of the head. His body was later discovered by a tenant in the apartment complex who alerted police." He says Jamestown police were assisted by several other agenices -- including his office -- in identifying the suspect as Kadenhead... who was found three days later in Buffalo. Schmidt adds that "the manner of his death suggests that Mr. Clay was executed. At the time Mr. Kadenhead is alleged to have committed this brutal, irreversible act, he had been on parole for only four months after having been released from state prison for a prior Manslaughter conviction." Kadenhead is jailed here on $2.5-million cash bail... or $5-million property bond.
