A man who is wanted in connection to a murder in Oak Grove was located after a pursuit in Illinois.
Oak Grove Police say 36-year-old Brian Lee Kerr Jr. who was wanted in connection to the December 28th shooting death of 37-year-old Dmytro Serbeniuk led Illinois State Police on a pursuit before being taken into custody.
Serbeniuk was reportedly killed during what is believed to be a robbery at the Pilot Travel Center on Kentucky 115 in Oak Grove. A witness pursued Serbeniuk’s box truck, which was taken in the robbery by Kerr but lost in Tennessee.
Kerr’s rental van was left on the lot of the gas station. Christian County Sheriff’s deputies and Oak Grove Police found Serbeniuk in the parking lot and initiated CPR, but were not able to revive him.
He was pronounced dead at the scene by Christian County Coroner Scott Daniel. The box truck was later located by Humphreys County Sheriff’s deputies in Humphreys County, Tennessee on the side of Interstate 24 with no one inside it or around it.
Police say Kerr is being held on theft and gun charges but added he is a possible suspect in the shooting but has not been charged at this time.
