Sheriff: Kan. girl stabs 10-year-old brother with steak knife

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A man has been charged in the shooting death of a 4-year-old Kansas City, Missouri, boy whose killing sparked a federal anti-crime task force that has sent hundreds of federal agents to several cities to fight violent crime.

Ryson Ellis, 22, of Kansas City, was charged Thursday with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon and two counts of armed criminal action in the death of LeGend Taliferro, who was struck by a bullet June 29 while he slept on the floor of his father’s apartment.

Federal authorities named the anti-crime task force&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/b3826b35d488c0f2481d7fc20e8a89b2">Operation LeGend&nbsp;</a>in the boy’s memory. Under the program, which is being overseen by the U.S. Department of Justice, federal agents have been sent to cities with high crime rates to work with local law enforcement to investigate violent crimes.

President Trump met with LeGend’s family — including his mother, Charron Powell — when the program was announced. The operation has since&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/9a8ef5dafaa02f01a52c15700b79d10a">expanded&nbsp;</a>to several cities, including Chicago, St. Louis and Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Attorney General William Barr said in a statement Thursday the arrest in LeGend’s case resulted from cooperation between Kansas City police and several federal agencies.

“This development is a model for joint efforts to solve crimes and reduce violence in other cities,” Barr said. “I thank the state and local law enforcement officers who helped make possible this important step in bringing justice to LeGend, to his family, and to his community.”

A probable cause statement in the case said a sister of LeGend’s father, who was in the apartment when the boy was shot, had a child with Ellis. She alleged he had assaulted her a few days before the shooting and some of her brothers, including LeGend’s father, had an altercation with Ellis, KSHB-TV&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kshb.com/news/crime/charges-announced-in-legend-taliferros-murder" target="_blank">reported</a>.

Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters-Baker said Ellis was “cowardly” when he fired several shots into the apartment where LeGend was thought to be safe. She said investigators ran into several dead-ends until a community member came forward with important information.

Ellis was arrested Thursday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and was being held on no bond, Peters-Baker said.

Powell, LeGend’s mother, said at the news conference she was “grateful that we are in the steps to justice,” but also expressed sadness for her son’s alleged killer and the violence in Kansas City.

“This is a lose situation, for my family, and including his,” Powell said of Ellis. “We have to take it a step farther and calm the violence down.”

U.S. Attorney Tim Garrison said the case was “precisely the type of case that this operation was designed to solve and we are very pleased that his case is one step closer to bringing justice to little LeGend and his family.”

He said Operation LeGend has resulted in more than 200 arrests since it began in Kansas City, including 16 people suspected of participating in homicides.

Police arrest three Kansas boys for series of business burglaries

KANSAS CITY (AP) — A Kansas City man whose cousin was accidentally shot to death in the parking lot of the Kansas City Zoo has been charged with illegally possessing a weapon.

Anthony Meneses, 27, was arrested Thursday after being charged earlier this week with being a felon in possession of a firearm, prosecutors said.

Kansas City police were called to the zoo on Sunday and found Jason Smith, 19, suffering from a gunshot wound while sitting in a vehicle. Smith died at the hospital and police later said their investigation determined the shooting was accidental.

Federal prosecutors said Meneses was sitting behind Smith when he reached for a gun in a back pocket of the driver's seat and the gun went off. The bullet went through the seat and struck Smith. Two other people in the car were not injured.

Meneses was not allowed to possess a weapon because he had a prior felony conviction for tampering with a motor vehicle.

Prosecutors said the arrest was part of Operation LeGend, a federal task force created to assist local authorities in addressing violent crime.

TOPEKA — Police investigating the death of a woman who was killed by a stray bullet as she stood in her front yard have made an arrest.

On Tuesday, police arrested Tony Baird, Jr., 29, Topeka, according to Lt. John Trimble.

Suspect arrested in death of Kan. woman hit by stray bullet 

KANSAS CITY (AP) — A man and his 15-year-old daughter whose violent handling at the hands of Kansas City police has been widely viewed online are now suing several of the officers.

Tarence Maddox and his daughter were at a May 30 protest at the Country Club Plaza to protest police brutality in the wake of the police-involved death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Maddox yelled at police that they were using excessive force when a line of officers descended on them, the lawsuit says, dousing Maddox and his daughter with pepper spray and pulling Maddox into the street to arrest him. One of the officers pulled Maddox’s daughter toward him and sprayed her directly in the eyes from about 4 inches away, the lawsuit says. She had “in no way” hindered his ability to make an arrest, said Maddox's attorney, Tom Porto.

The incident was captured on video, which has been viewed more than 8.6 million times on Twitter.

The lawsuit accuses the officers of deliberately harming Maddox and his daughter, despite the pair posing no threat to the officers, Porto said. Maddox also suffered permanent injury to his knee during the arrest that required surgery, the attorney said.

Police at the time said they would review the officers’ actions, but did not immediately respond to the newspaper's request Tuesday for comment on the lawsuit.
