BATTLE CREEK, MI (WNWN/WTVB) – Battle Creek Police say law enforcement officials in Georgia helped in the arrest of a second suspect in the August 31 murder of 31-year-old Brett Reinhardt.
The suspect, whose name has not been released as of Thursday morning, is in a Georgia jail, pending the extradition process.
When the suspect returns to Michigan, they will be arraigned on an open murder charge.
Officers were called to the area of North Union Street and Sherman Road at about 6 p.m. on August 31 for several calls of shots fired, and a lot of yelling in the area.
Police were directed to a house where Reinhardt was thought to have gone after being shot outside.
Officers saw through the house windows that a man was lying on the floor and was unresponsive. They forced entry into the house to help the victim, later identified as Reinhardt.
Reinhardt was pronounced dead at the scene. Police determined the shooting stemmed from a verbal dispute between Reinhardt and his neighbor, 37-year-old Brittney Worship.
Worship was arrested on September 8 and was arraigned on an open murder charge. She is awaiting a preliminary examination.
