MOUNDRIDGE — Authorities in central Kansas are searching for two people now accused in connection with a triple homicide.
Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton says in a posting on his department’s Facebook page that 35-year-old Jereme Nelson and 31-year-old Myrta Rangel are charged in arrest warrants with capital murder and three counts of first-degree murder.
Their bond has been set at $1 million each, and the sheriff’s department believes they are in Oklahoma.
The bodies of 33-year-old Travis Street, 37-year-old Angela Graevs and the couple’s Newton friend, 52-year-old Richard Prouty were found Sunday outside a home in a rural area near Moundridge. The victims had been shot.
Harvey County Prosecuting Attorney David Yoder says the motive for the killings appears to be drug-related.
Nelson and Rangel should be considered armed and dangerous. They were last seen in Oklahoma driving a 1999 Ford F-150 4×4, black on top, gold on bottom.
If Nelson and Rangel are located, take no action to detain them, but call law enforcement immediately.
If you have any information concerning either Nelson or Rangel, you are asked to call 1-800 KS-CRIME. Callers may remain anonymous.
