The Department of Justice announced Thursday evening that two people have been indicted in connection with the fatal shooting of a US postal worker on March 2 in Warren.
According to federal court records, a grand jury indicted 24-year-old Kaprise Sledge and 44-year-old Thomas Sledge on one count of murder of an officer and employee of the United States and one count of use of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.
The two face a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted, the DOJ said.
Warren police officers found the postal worker, 33-year-old Jonte Davis, in his delivery vehicle in the 600 block of Olive Avenue after responding to a shots fired call.
