Fort Wayne Man Held Without Bond Accused In the Killing of a South Dakota Teen

MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) - A 20-year-old man accused in the killing
of a South Dakota teenager has been ordered held without bail.
Alexander Salgado, who recently moved to South Dakota from Fort
Wayne, Ind., appeared in court Friday on a first-degree murder
charge.
Salgado and a 15-year-old girl, whose name hasn't been released
because of her age, are accused of murdering 16-year-old Jasmine
Guevara. She went missing this week from her home in Mitchell,
which is about 70 miles west of Sioux Falls.
Authorities found a body in a burned-out car outside Mitchell
believed to be Guevara's. Autopsy results are pending.
Court documents say the pair lured Guevara because the
15-year-old girl was jealous over Guevara's friendship with
Salgado.
