Man killed in melee at Overland Park apartment complex

By JUDY THOMAS

The Kansas City Star


One man was killed and five others injured early today in a melee at an apartment complex in Overland Park.

Police were called to the 5300 block of West 121st Terrace at 1:54 a.m., said Jim Weaver, spokesman for the Overland Park Police Department. When they arrived, he said, they found numerous injured victims both inside and outside an apartment. The apartment complex is two blocks east of 121st Street and Nall Avenue.

?There had been a large fight involving 15 or more people,? Weaver said. ?There was certainly a stabbing, and we're investigating the possibility of other weapons.?

He declined to comment on the cause of the fight.

All of those involved were males in their late teens and early 20s, Weaver said. The man who died was 18. His name was not being released until relatives could be notified.

The five who were not fatally injured were treated at various hospitals for ?significant injuries,? Weaver said. Two of those victims had first driven themselves to a nearby convenience store to seek help.

Weaver said police were working with the Johnson County District Attorney's office but that no one had yet been charged.

?The investigation continues, and will continue,? he said. ?There's a number of people involved, so the list of people to be talked to and interviewed is large. Besides the six who were injured, we're looking at least another nine.?

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Overland Park Police Department at (913) 895-6300 or the TIPS Hotline at (816) 474-8477.

Tha complex they are talking about is Hawthorne Apartments.

Peterson Properties: get your act together and screen new tennants. And fix the place up.
