Overland Park Announces Release Of 2018 Police Report On Deadly Teen Shooting
Like it or not, faith based & community activists deserve credit if only because without the public pressure they re exerting, this disclosure of deets about the deadly shooting of a teen would be unlikely.
The incident was investigated by the Johnson County Officer Involved Shooting Investigation Team, consisting of law enforcement officers out of other jurisdictions in Johnson County, according to the city.
The purpose of the investigation was to help the Johnson County District Attorney in making a decision about whether the use of force was lawful and whether any crime was committed.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) Overland Park officials agreed to release an investigative report into the fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old, just hours after a group of faith leaders called for the police chief s resignation over his department s handling of the case.
On Monday, members of MORE2 said Chief Frank Donchez should resign because of a pattern of a lack of “transparency, accountability and discipline” in the department. A city statement released later in the day did not address the issue of whether Donchez would step down.
The department has been under scrutiny since an officer fatally shot John Albers as the juvenile backed out of his family s driveway in 2018.
