An 18-year-old has been charged in connection with the slaying of an Indiana pastor’s pregnant wife.

Larry Jo Taylor faces 13 charges in connection with the Nov. 10 killing of Amanda Blackburn in what police believe to be a home invasion turned awry.

Taylor was arrested by detectives from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s violent crime and gang units. Prosecutors are reviewing the case and will announce the final charges against him.

Pastor Davey Blackburn, in a statement, said that he was “extremely relieved” by the suspect’s arrest but doesn’t “undo the pain we are feeling.”
