(KNZA)--Charges have been filed in connection with a fatal shooting Sunday morning on the Kickapoo Reservation.

Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill said a two-count complaint was filed Monday afternoon in Brown County District Court charging 32-year-old Stryder Keo with one count of murder in the first degree and one count of aggravated battery.

Around 7:20 Sunday morning, multiple law enforcement agencies responded to a report of a shooting in the vicinity of 1300 Firefly on the Kickapoo Reservation.

Upon arrival, Brown County Sheriff John Merchant said 35-year-old William Blacksmith, of Whiting, was found unresponsive in the yard with multiple gunshot wounds.

Merchant said Keo was arrested without incident at his home on the reservation a short time later.

Keo remains in the Brown County Jail, held on a one million dollar bond.

The incident is being investigated by the Brown County Sheriff's Office, coordinated with the Brown County Attorney and Federal Bureau of Investigation.
