Murder suspect arrested in Norfolk

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — Norfolk police have arrested a man suspected of a beating death in Colorado.

Jayson Oslund was being held Thursday in the Madison County jail awaiting extradition to Pueblo, Colo., on a first-degree murder charge. The 28-year-old was arrested Wednesday morning on a tip to a Crime Stoppers hot line.

Oslund is accused of beating 18-year-old Matt Maez on Sept. 5. Maez died more than a week later of head trauma.

A message left at the jail office was not immediately returned.

Norfolk police Capt. Leon Chapman says he wasn’t sure whether Maez had a connection to the Norfolk area.

A call to the Pueblo city attorney’s office rang unanswered on Thursday morning.
