2:30 p.m. LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Police in Lawrence have identified a man found shot to death in an apartment in the northern part of the city.

But the circumstances of the shooting of 23-year-old Franklin Spottedtail were still being investigated Monday, and police have not labeled it a homicide.

Officers were called to the apartment shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday after a caller told 911 operators that someone might have been stabbed. Police said Spottedtail was dead of a gunshot wound, not a stabbing, by the time officers arrived.

 

 

6:30 a.m.  (AP) — Lawrence police say the death of a man from a traumatic injury is considered suspicious.

The man was found dead early Sunday at an apartment after police received a call that was first reported as a stabbing.

He was dead when paramedics arrived. Authorities say he suffered a “traumatic injury” but did not elaborate.

Lawrence police have not released any information on the victim or any possible suspects.
