Four arrested in Plummer murder

Four suspects in a homicide that occurred early Sunday in Plummer are now in custody, according to the Spokane County Sheriff's Department.

Irael S. Kennedy, 21, Stephen R. Milton, 22, and Kelly A. Miller, 40, were booked into the Spokane County Jail mid-day Sunday. Jody A. Miller, 40, was arrested about 7:20 p.m., deputies said.

Idaho State Police investigators learned the four were headed back to Spokane and alerted law enforcement.

On Sunday Benewah County authorities sent warrants charging each of the suspects with first-degree murder, deputies said. The four were booked on fugitive from justice charges.

The victim was identified as Antowyn D. Swiney, 37, with a previous address of Spokane. An autopsy is scheduled for today.

Jody Miller and Kennedy were held on $1 million dollar bonds and Milton and Kelly Miller were held on $500,000 bonds.

The four reportedly began their Sunday celebrating Jody Miller's 40th birthday in downtown Spokane before driving to Plummer where the killing occurred at Swiney's residence on 8th Street, deputies said. Around 4:30 a.m., three males and one female arrived at the residence, and a confrontation ensued between Swiney and the three males. Swiney was stabbed and died at the scene.
