The man wanted in the fatal shooting of his estranged wife in the parking lot of a Canton nursing home has been caught.
The Stark County Sheriff's Office reported Dragan Sekulic, 38, of Akron, was taken into custody several hours after his estranged wife, Celjka Sekulic, 37, was killed around 7:45 a.m. Wednesday, WJW-TV in Cleveland reported.
The shooting happened at Astoria Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation center on 12th Street NW in Canton Township, where Celjka Sekulic was a longtime nurse, The Canton Repository reported. Authorities say Dragan Sekulic drove off in a sport utility vehicle after the shooting.
The Repository reported Dragan Sekulic was taken into custody after being pulled over on Interstate 77 south of Interstate 70 in Cambridge.
Astoria Nursing Home co-owners Michael Slyk and Tim Chesney told WJW Celjka Sekulic was leaving work when she was shot in the parking lot and the shooting was not work related.
According to the Repository, Dragan Sekulic had been released on bond two days after his arrest Nov. 24 for allegedly ramming his estranged wife's car, leaving it upside down in a ditch along 12th Street NW with her trapped inside. He is facing charges of felonious assault, domestic violence and operating under the influence in that incident.
