KANSAS CITY, Kan. – The man police called a suspect in Monday’s quadruple homicide in KCK has been charged with aggravated battery for an alleged attack that happened just hours before the killings.Wyandotte County Court records show Adrian Burks, 37, of Kansas City, Kan., was in custody of charges of aggravated battery. He was being held Wednesday on $2 million bond and had not been charged in the quadruple homicide.
Authorities tell NBC Action News the aggravated battery is related to the murders, discovered Monday in the 5200 block of Muncie, but is a separate incident. The victim of the alleged battery was not one of the four people killed, according to an anonymous source.
Burks was arrested Tuesday after leading police on a chase from Kansas City, Mo., into Kansas City, Kan.
KCK Police said Tuesday they considered him a suspect in the quadruple homicide.
Police identified the victims Wednesday as James A. Warren, 66; Amanda J. Remmers, 21; Peggy Castleberry, 41; and Juanita D. Castelberry-Bess, 3. The four -- all residents of Kansas City, Kan. -- died from multiple gunshot wounds, Wyandotte County Coroner Allen Hancock said Wednesday.
Burks was to make his first court appearance for the aggravated battery charge Wednesday at 1:15 p.m.
Separately, Burks was charged in April in Johnson County, Kan., in a domestic violence case. He faces one felony count of criminal threat and a misdemeanor count of battery. The complaint in that case states on April 17, 2009, Burks battered and threatened harm to a different woman in Roeland Park, Kan.
