CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - A tip call to Crime Stoppers has help lead Cleveland Police make an arrest in the murder of Kari Myers.

"It was a robbery that had gone bad and right after that these two individuals got in a car and drove back to Lorain County which added up to the detectives,"  Sergeant Dave Rutt.
