NORWALK, Iowa — A man has been charged in connection to a homicide in Norwalk this past September, the Norwalk Police Department said in a press release.
Antonio Lavell Lewis, 38, is charged with first degree murder in the death of Karisa Shendelman.
The charges come just over a month after Norwalk Police responded to a report of a death in the 600 block of Knoll Drive at approximately 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 15.
"On arrival officers located Lewis inside the apartment," Norwalk PD said in the release. "He was detained at that time and arrested on outstanding, unrelated warrants out of Marshall County."
Police found 31-year-old Shendelman's body inside the apartment with "multiple stab wounds," a release said.
Lewis is currently being held on the murder charge, as well as unrelated Marshall County charges.
