2 men arrested in connection to man's 2015 slaying in Omaha

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Two men have been arrested in the death of a man whose body was found in a central Omaha home.

Charles A. Keathley was found dead on May 30. Authorities have declined to release Keathley's cause of death, but police say that the circumstances are suspicious and they are treating the case as a homicide.

Thirty-seven-year-old Sha'Ron Ellis was arrested Friday and is charged with first-degree murder charge. He is currently in the hospital and under police guard. Authorities did not say why he is in the hospital.

Thirty-nine-year-old Christopher R. Myers was also arrested Friday and was charged with one count of being an accessory to a felony in the case. He is currently being held in the Douglas County Department of Corrections.

It is unclear if either man has an attorney.
