KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) A Kansas prosecutor says he’s not reached an agreement with his
Missouri counterpart about who will prosecute a man accused of killing five people.
Wyandotte County District Attorney Jerome Gorman said at a news conference Wednesday that he would prefer to try 40-year-old Pablo Antonio Serrano-Vitorino first in Kansas, where he is accused of gunning down four men at a Kansas City, Kansas, home Monday night.
Gorman declined to reveal a motive for the shootings, though he said there was no indication that drugs were involved.
He said his office has experience with death penalty cases, but he needs more facts before deciding to pursue that option.
Serrano-Vitorino also is accused of killing a man Tuesday morning in Montgomery County, Missouri, after his pickup truck was found abandoned on Interstate 70.
