MINOT, N.D. — Authorities are searching for a man with ties to a woman whose body was found in an early June car fire in Minot.
Police believe Kamauri Kennedy, 32, has direct knowledge of the death of 32-year-old Domonique Kelley, of Minot, and describe him as a "person of interest" in the case.
Crews found Kelley's body June 3 after extinguishing the flames engulfing a vehicle. Law enforcement is investigating the death as a homicide.
The North Dakota Crime Lab and the State Forensic Examiner's Office identified Kelley's remains through DNA analysis, Minot police said last week in a news release.
After crews discovered Kelley's body, a home associated with Kennedy was burned, according to Minot police, who believe Kennedy then stole a gray 2013 Chrysler 300 which was later located with fire damage in Minneapolis.
