EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Nearly a decade after the murder of local DJ Shane Breedlove, authorities have made an arrest in connection to the case.
On Wednesday, the Evansville Police Department issued a warrant for 29-year-old Bobby Handegard in relation to the 2015 killing of Breedlove. According to police, Handegard turned himself in before officers had the opportunity to execute the warrant.
Handegard had been arrested along with two other suspects in 2015 following Breedlove’s death. However, due to a lack of sufficient evidence at the time, the three were released and the case went cold.
The arrest marks a significant development in a case that has remained unresolved for almost ten years. The murder of Shane Breedlove, a well-known DJ in the Evansville area, shocked the local community and left many searching for answers. Despite the challenges, authorities have continued to investigate, leading to this new breakthrough.
At this time, the Evansville Police Department has not provided further details but has indicated that an update on the case will be made later today. This new arrest has sparked renewed interest in the case, and officials are hopeful that it will bring clarity and justice to Breedlove’s family and the community that was deeply affected by his loss.
As the investigation unfolds, residents of Evansville are waiting for additional information regarding the circumstances surrounding the arrest and what new evidence may have surfaced.
