A Francisco man formally charged with murder and attempted murder as law enforcement continues to search for the weapon allegedly used in the crime.
23 year old Austin Blaize was in court Thursday to hear charges against him. He was arrested late Wednesday after a shooting in the Indian Hills subdivision of Fort Branch that left 47 year old Terry Monier dead.
State Police investigators say Blaize entered the home of his ex-girlfriend in Indiana Hills and tried to shoot her current boyfriend, but the gun misfired. He then fired more shots as he left, and one of those struck Monier
Police believe the gun is probably somewhere between Fort Branch and Francisco, where Blaize was arrested Wednesday night.
