TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas prosecutor plans to discuss the recent shooting death of a Topeka police officer.
Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor scheduled a news conference for Wednesday morning in his office to discuss the killing of police Cpl. Jason Harwood.
Authorities have two 30-year-old men in custody in connection with Sunday’s shooting, which occurred after Harwood pulled a car over in east Topeka.
One of the men could face a capital murder charge and was arrested Sunday night in Lawrence after police said he was taken there by the other man on a stolen motorcycle.
The second man was being held on suspicion of theft, possessing stolen property, obstructing justice and aiding a felon.
Harwood was a decorated 15-year veteran of the police department.
