Another arrest made in the death of a Joplin man - KOAM TV 7

Authorities say Daniel Hartman is now in custody.  Authorities say Hartman and four other suspects were involved in the robbery of a Joplin home that resulted in the murder of the resident on July 6.

Law enforcement says they received a tip that Hartman was in Rolling Fork, Mississippi.  Hartman was arrested without incident on Tuesday August 6 by the U.S. Marshall Service and Mississippi State Police.

Hartman is charged with the first degree murder of Jacob Wages and is awaiting extradition back to Missouri.

Two of the men involved have already plead not guilty to charges of burglary and second degree murder.  

Cody Stephens, 20 of Parsons, and Jonathan Taylor, 19 of Joplin, were previously arraigned on first degree burglary and second degree murder charges with bonds set at $100,000, plus an additional $25,000 cash.

A 16 year old is also in custody, but another juvenile suspect is still being sought in the case.

Authorities say the five suspects entered a home in the 1900 block of South Pearl in Joplin on July 6 with the intent to steal.  Authorities say Daniel Hartman, 17 of Tulsa, then shot and killed a resident of the home, Jacob Wages, 23, after being confronted by him.  Authorities think Hartman and the others than searched the house looking for items and stole an assault rifle.

Authorities believe Stephens and Taylor stole a black box from the home.  They're not saying what was inside the box.

Detectives say the burglary took place during the murder of Jacobs.

Anyone with information regarding the murder and burglary are asked to call their local law enforcement or call Heartland Crime Stoppers - 417-782-8479.
