Four More Arrested in Connection to Kiwanis Park Shooting Death
The U.S. Marshalls are getting the credit for two of four more people being arrested Thursday in connection to last week's fatal Kiwanis Park shooting.

Galesburg Police say 18-year old Michael Fisher and 21-year old Kareem Dixon, both of Galesburg, were arrested by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force in Chicago, while 46-year old Overton Fisher turned himself in to Cook County authorities later on.

Michael Fisher and Dixon face charges of First Degree Murder Accountability, and Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm Accountability, while Overton Fisher faces charges of First-Degree Murder and Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm.

Police say the three, along with 18-year old Michael Garrett, who was arrested in Galesburg this afternoon, had roles in the shooting death of 21-year old Jemell Ware of Galesburg last Thursday.

Garrett faces the same charges as Michael Fisher and Dixon.

Police say they're still looking for 23-year old Albert Carter of Galesburg on charges of First-Degree Murder and Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm.

A 16-year old is already in custody on murder and other charges.

Police say the investigation continues.
