Alaska State Troopers have arrested a 44-year-old man on a murder charge in the July 16 slaying in Soldotna.

Troopers say Lyle D. Ludvick has been charged with second-degree murder and evidence tampering in connection with the death of Brendan McGee, who was shot about 1:50 p.m. in the area of Kalifornsky Beach Road and Andrews Avenue.

The Special Emergency Reaction Team learned Ludvick was in a home in Backtracker Trailer Park on Friday morning and surrounded the home.
