KOKOMO, Ind. — Police arrested two people Tuesday for their alleged roles in a 2006 cold case.
In February, police renewed its call for help in finding out who killed 20-year-old Chad Rouse in Kokomo.
Shortly after 10 a.m. on Nov. 15, 2006, Kokomo Police Department officers responded to a house in the 1400 block of South Armstrong Street, near South Washington and West Defenbaugh streets, for a reported shooting.
Police found Rouse, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators learned that a man entered the house and held Rouse and a woman at gunpoint during a suspected robbery, and Rouse was shot in the back during a struggle, police said.
On May 26, a Howard County Grand Jury indicted two people in connection to the Rouse's murder:
- Kevin L. Maddox, 48
- Murder
- Robbery resulting in serious bodily injury
- Conspiracy to commit robbery, resulting in serious bodily injury
- Amber Brigham, 36
- Conspiracy to commit robbery, resulting in serious bodily injury
- Aiding, inducing or causing robbery, resulting in serious bodily injury
On May 30, the Howard Superior II Court granted arrest warrants for Maddox and Brigham.
Maddox was arrested in Indianapolis, while Brigham was arrested in Miami County.
Police have not yet said what led them to identify Maddox and Brigham as suspects in Rouse's murder.
Formal charges have not been filed as of Wednesday morning.
