Neighbor Jailed For 20-Year-Old Sacramento Murder

SACRAMENTO (AP) ― Police in Northern California have made an arrest in the cold-case murder of a Meals on Wheels recipient.

Sacramento police on Friday arrested 56-year-old Donald Carter in the 1989 killing of 80-year-old Sophia McAllister. Authorities had found McAllister's beaten body in her home after a Meals on Wheels volunteer noticed she hadn't picked up her food delivery.

The case languished for years was reopened in 2005. DNA evidence was linked to Carter in March of this year while he was being booked on an unrelated narcotics charge.

Police say Carter lived 1 1/2 blocks from McAllister at the time of the killing.

Carter is being held without bail in county jail.
