Suspect Arrested In Little Falls Shooting Death

LITTLE FALLS, Minn. (AP) -- Police have arrested a suspect in the shooting death of a Little Falls man whose body was found inside his burning home.

Little Falls Police Chief Greg Schirmers says investigators from the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the Hutchinson Police Department arrested the 36-year-old suspect without incident Monday night at his home in Hutchinson.

WJON-AM reports the man is being held at the Morrison County Jail.

The Ramsey County medical examiner confirmed the victim is 30-year-old Dustin Brown of Little Falls. Brown died of multiple gunshot wounds. His body was found in his home at a mobile home park after police received calls of gunshots being fired.

The home had been set on fire, apparently to destroy the crime scene.
