LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A man wanted in connection with the death of a woman in Okolona earlier this month has turned himself in to Louisville police.
In a release, Louisville Metro Police said Rashawn Betts, 38, is being charged with murder (domestic violence) burglary, assault and wanton endangerment.
The Homicide Unit had been looking for Betts after Amy Skelton, 44, was found Nov. 8 with "multiple blunt force trauma" at a home on Greenbridge Way in Okolona. She later died at the hospital.
