Hit and run suspect captured

You won't see this in the Red Star as of the time of this posting, but you will see it here. A suspect in the hit and run murder of Evelyn Geng is in custody in the Hennepin County (Minn) jail. See here for the booking information and charge details. Unfortunately, no photos at this time.

The suspect is Simone Kathaleen Stillday, dob 10/4/81. The charge is murder. The motive, you may recall, according to local community activist Ron Edwards, is gas prices and economic desperation.

There are more suspects on the loose, but they've got a law enforcement community second-to-none looking for them. Kudos to the Minneapolis PD for the quick catch.

We'll pause now and wait for the Red Star to catch up.
