Former Kansas City Detective Roger Golubski died Monday following a warrant being issued for his arrest after failing to show up for trial.
Law enforcement set up a crime scene outside Golubski’s home on Monday morning, and Federal prosecutors said that Golubski died after a judge issued a warrant for his arrest.
Prosecutors did not say how or when he died.
He was charged with six felony counts of violating women’s civil rights.
The Department of Justice also alleges Golubski assaulted two teenage victims over several years in the late 1990s and into the 2000s.
Additionally, Golubski was recently named along with six former police chiefs and four other detectives in a lawsuit filed back in September 2024 by victim Jermeka Hobbs.
The men were alleged to have been involved in a “Protection Racket.”
In the lawsuit, the group of men “offered drug dealers and sex traffickers protection from law enforcement, advance notice of police raids, and coverups for gang murders. And, in exchange, the Protection Racket received money, drugs, stolen goods and access to exploited and vulnerable women and girls.”
