Police in northern Minnesota are searching for one of three people of interest in connection with a homicide this week in Virginia, Minn.

Anthony James Isham is being sought in the death Tuesday of Harley Joseph Jacka, 29. An arrest warrant also has been issued for Isham in connection with a burglary in Greaney, Minn., where several guns and a Chrysler van were believed to have been taken, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said Friday.

The BCA is urging anyone who thinks they see Isham or the van to call police or 911.

Isham, 42, is described as 5 foot 8 and 185 pounds with brown eyes and black and gray hair. The van is a navy blue Town and Country with Minnesota license plate 627 LTT.

The BCA said two other Virginia men, one 38 years old and another 39, were people of interest who were in custody on unrelated charges.

Anyone with information can also call Virginia police at 1-218-748-7511.
