Lincoln police said in a news release Monday that officers on Thursday arrested 31-year-old Marques Moten, of Omaha, in Council Bluffs, in connection with the March 1 death of 33-year-old James Shekieand. Also arrested Thursday in Lincoln was Moten’s 17-year-old sister. Both have been charged with conspiracy to commit a felony.
