KANSAS CITY, Mo. â Questions from the KSHB 41 News I-Team led to the discovery of a sealed envelope containing evidence never made public in the 2018 fatal police shooting of an Overland Park teen.
The shooting death of John Albers took place at a south Overland Park home in January 2018. It happened as the reported suicidal teen backed his familyâs van out of the garage while police responded to his home for a welfare check.
After reviewing an internal investigation and a report compiled by the Johnson County Officer Involved Shooting Investigation Team, prosecutors declined to charge the officer involved in the shooting, Clayton Jenison.
