Few other details have been released regarding the connection of the vehicle to the homicide.

Harlo Cornelius, 43, of Oneida Nation was arrested the same day as the homicide and appeared in court the following day. He was remanded into custody and will appear in court at a later date.

An obituary posted to the website of Elliott Madill Funeral Homes described Doxtator as a loving son, partner, and father to three children. He was also being remembered by his three siblings and his extended family, the obituary said.

A funeral service for Doxtator was scheduled for this past weekend.
