Two Men Charged in Dongola Homicide DONGOLA, IL (wsiu) - Two people are charged in connection with a Union County homicide.

Union County State's Attorney Tyler Edmonds says 26-year-old Michael Ellis of Elkville was arrested over the weekend in Chickasaw County, Mississippi on a First Degree Murder charge. Ellis fled the area and was caught by Mississippi authorities after he tried to avoid a traffic safety road-block.
