Dakota County Attorney Kathy Keena announced that Kyle Steven Williams, age 34 of Red Wing, has been indicted* by a Dakota County Grand Jury of one count each of Murder in the First Degree (Domestic Abuse), Murder in the First Degree (Premeditated), and Murder in the Second Degree (With Intent/Not Premeditated), in connection with the death of 36-year-old Kelly Jo Marie Kocurek of Hastings on May 23, 2021.
The facts and circumstances surrounding this incident are contained in the initial criminal complaint filed in August of 2021, charging Williams with Murder in the Second Degree. The charges in the indictment supersede the prior criminal complaint. Both documents can be found at Criminal Complaint Search. If in custody, a booking photo can be viewed at Inmate Search.
Williams made his first court appearance on the indictment today. His current bail conditions continue to remain in effect (i.e., $2,000,000 with conditions). His next court appearance is scheduled for April 4, 2023 at 1:30 p.m. in Hastings.
