KALISPELL – Wiley Meeker of Somers, 18 years old, and Kaleb Fleck of Kalispell, 19, are being held in the Flathead County Detention Center on pending charges of deliberate homicide.
They were arrested following a man's death in Kalispell on Sunday, June 25, 2023.
The Kalispell Police Department responded to a reported assault in the area of Appleway Drive and Meridian Drive shortly after 2:15 a.m.
According to a news release, officers found a male suffering from “significant injuries.”
The victim — whose name has not been released — was taken to Logan Health in Kalispell where he passed away.
The Flathead County Sheriff’s Office has identified the victim as 60-year-old Scott Bryan, who had “no listed address in Kalispell.”
MTN News on Monday talked with Tonya Horn, the director of the Flathead Warming Center, who confirmed that Bryan was a member of the homeless community.
This is a very sad day for our community. We can confirm that it was a homeless community member who lost their life. In times like this, what I want to talk about is community. The homeless community is a very strong community. It's very inspiring how they take care of each other. And I want to encourage our overall community to understand and to remember who we are as a community. And our motto is we take care of each other in the Flathead and I still believe that that is very, very true. Because we value every life. Every life, we value every life.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Detective Shane Lidstrom at 406-249-7397.
We will have additional information as it becomes available.
