Posted on Wednesday, May 7, 2008

An 18-year-old man from Cherry Creek, in west-central South Dakota, is being held in connection with a house fire that killed two children under suspicious circumstances.

Cheyenne River Sioux Indian Reservation Police Chief Larry LeBeau would not identify the suspect or the charges he faces.

The victims in last Friday's fatal fire were four-year-old Keya Rooks, and her two-year-old brother, known both as Marvin Evenson and Marvin Rooks.
