TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) A southwest Missouri man wounded in a summer shooting in northeast Kansas has died.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reported Tuesday that Michael P. Bailey, 41, of Nevada, Mo., died Friday. He had been hospitalized since July 13, when he was shot in Topeka.
The Shawnee County coroner performed an autopsy Monday. Sheriff Herman Jones says the coroner is holding the body for further review and hasn’t made a final determination on the cause of death.
Jones says his office is waiting for those results before proceeding with the case.
Two other men one from Nevada and another from Topeka were wounded in the same July shooting. Authorities said the shooting happened after the three acquaintances had a “verbal disagreement.”
