The murder trial of a Fort Dodge man accused of killing two brothers last year will now take place in Story County.

Tanner King is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of Marion T. Rhodes and Eldominic T. Rhodes. They were found dead in an alley behind 910 2nd Avenue North on Oct. 22nd, 2018.

Jury selection began Monday in Webster County, but court documents say there was jury tampering, potential jurors were aware of prior criminal cases involving King, and recalled several news accounts of the case. AS a result, the judge approved moving the trial to Story County, where it will begin November 12th.
