MARION, Ill. — A Marion man was killed with a machete-type weapon, and police have a suspect in custody, according to KFVS12.
The outlet reported the arrest but did not release the victim's name, the suspect's identity, or the circumstances of the killing in what was made available to this bureau. Marion has weathered violent headlines before — the county's whole history is a lesson in how fast trouble here can turn deadly — but each one still costs a family everything.
This is a developing story. The American Times Press will update as the Williamson County state's attorney's office releases charges.
