NORFOLK — An Iowa woman sought in the slaying of her cousin has been taken into custody here.
Authorities say 22-year-old Danaesha Martin was detained Tuesday in Norfolk on an Iowa warrant for first-degree murder. Iowa court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for her.
Authorities say she played a role in the May 31 shooting death of 22-year-old Shavondes Martin. He’d been acquitted in February of shooting to death Otavious Brown.
Shavondes Martin’s mother, Diane Martin , was shot to death in her Waterloo, Iowa home in September. Authorities are saying that, for now, the slayings of Diane and Shavondes Martin don’t appear to be related.
