Benton County Murder suspect hearing continued

The hearing of a Warsaw man accused of murder has been continued to June. 26-year-old Jason Kroenke was arrested following an investigation into the death of a woman who was found shot to death in a home on Leisure Drive in Warsaw, in November 2021. The November 23rd call came in with Kroenke saying that Tarah McIntyre had shot herself. Using evidence gathered at the scene, including a blood-covered pillow with a bullet hole, officers believe that Kroenke shot McIntyre. Authorities say the gun that fired the bullet that killed McIntyre was found 4 feet from her body. Kroenke is charged with first-degree Murder and Armed Criminal Action. Kroenke’s next court date is June 21st, where he will waive his preliminary hearing or a hearing date will be set.
