Two teenagers reportedly connected to the July 17 death of an 18-year-old Pullman man near Troy signed waivers of extradition during a hearing Monday in Ferry County Superior Court in Washington and should be in the custody of Latah County by the end of the week.

Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson said once the suspects, Matthew J. McKetta, 18, and Keagan C. Tennant, 17, are back in Moscow, they will appear in front of a judge within a day.

Ferry County Prosecutor Kathryn Burke said at 5 p.m. Monday she was expecting investigators from Latah County to be in Ferry County later Monday evening, when it was possible that the suspects could be extradited.

The two were arrested at 3:26 p.m. Friday by Ferry County deputies just south of the Canadian border on Kroupa Road north of Curlew, Wash., for their alleged involvement in the death of Timothy J. Reeves, who died from a single gunshot wound to the head. His body was found Wednesday by deputies after a witness came forward with details.

Keagan Tennant, who is the adopted son of a Pullman Police Department officer, Cmdr. Chris Tennant, and McKetta will be facing a long list of felony charges when they are returned to Latah County.

Charges for Keagan Tennant, who is being charged as an adult, include suspicion of involuntary manslaughter; attempted murder in the first degree; principal to failure to notify coroner or law enforcement of death; conspiracy to commit failure to notify coroner or law enforcement of death; principal to destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence; and conspiracy to commit destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence.

Charges for McKetta include suspicion of principal to failure to notify coroner or law enforcement of death; conspiracy to commit failure to notify coroner or law enforcement of death; principal to destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence; and conspiracy to commit destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence.
