Man Who Fled To Georgia After Deadly Shooting in Fargo Last Summer Is Arraigned

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) — A man arrested in Georgia in November for a Fargo homicide last summer finally appears in court in Fargo.

34-year-old Leo Dartoe was arraigned on murder, weapon and delivery of fentanyl charges.

Dartoe is a suspect in the death of Sampson Bleh.

He was arrested by U.S. Marshals and Atlanta Police on October 18 and extradited to Fargo two months ago.

Another man, Geettoe Kamara, was arrested the day of the murder for drug possession.
