KOKOMO, IND. (WOWO) Two 18-year-old men from Kokomo, Indiana, have been arrested in connection with a murder in Mississippi. Authorities in Vicksburg reported that a man was found shot to death inside a vehicle late Wednesday night.

After a preliminary investigation, Mississippi police contacted the Kokomo Police Department Saturday night, identifying the two men as possible suspects who might be in Indiana. Kokomo officers located one of the suspect vehicles at a home east of the city.
