DOUGLAS COUNTY —A suspect wanted in connection with the murder of a Kansas woman is in custody.
During an unrelated investigation Thursday, Topeka Police discovered information that 43-year-old Johnathon Lee West of Lawrence may have been involved in the killing of 41-year-old Jennifer Marie Mosby of Lawrence earlier this week, according to police department spokesman Patrick Compton.
On Wednesday, police discovered the deceased woman at her residence in the 800 block of Kentucky Street in Lawrence.
West remains in the custody of Shawnee County pending transfer to Douglas County on a requested charge of second-degree murder.
An affidavit has been submitted to the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office for charging consideration, according to Compton.
