EMERSON, MANITOBA – An American man who is a suspect in a Minneapolis murder was intercepted by Canadian border officials as he tried to cross into Canada from Pembina, North Dakota.
Minneapolis police said the suspect, 23-year-old Kayd Mohamed Falug, was wanted in connection with the Aug. 8 stabbing death of a 19-year old man.
Their investigation indicated Falug was headed to northern Minnesota or North Dakota in an attempt to flee the country, so they alerted the Canada Border Services Agency.
Falug was arrested by Canadian officials at the Emerson, Manitoba border crossing Sunday, the day after the murder.
He faces second-degree murder and second-degree assault charges and is in custody in Grand Forks, awaiting U.S. interstate extradition proceedings.
