ANNAPOLIS, Mo. (AP) - A man has been arrested on a warrant charging him in the shooting death of a southeastern Missouri man, authorities said.

Officials arrested McCoy Tristain Kelley, 21, around 6 p.m. Wednesday in Annapolis for the Tuesday death of 30-year-old William "Billy" Shy, television station KFVS reported.
