A suspect in crimes on both sides of the state line in the Kansas City metro area is in custody after a standoff in Kansas. Bonner Springs police say Yucasante Oropreza, 20, was arrested without incident Wednesday.
Oropreza was a suspect in a shooting in Kansas City, Kansas, when police began chasing his vehicle on Jan. 8. The chase was suspended when Oropreza crossed into Kansas City, Missouri. Police say he ran a red light and hit a car driven by Dahir Abdi, 47, of Olathe, who died at the scene.
Oropreza ran from the scene. Law enforcement tracked him to a home in Bonner Springs, where he surrendered after a standoff.
