Two Arrested After Shooting Investigation in Parsons

 

A Parsons man is in custody following an early morning shooting that left another man wounded.

 

The Parsons Police Department says officers responded shortly after 1:00am yesterday morning after the victim arrived at Labette Health with a gunshot wound to the leg. Investigators determined the shooting happened at the Mendota Creek Apartments. PPD says the victim was uncooperative, but an eyewitness identified 19-year-old Travon Logan as the suspected shooter. Officers later located Logan at a residence in the 1400 block of Belmont Avenue. During the investigation, 20-year-old Nalijah Schlotman was arrested for interference with law enforcement after providing false information about Logan's whereabouts.

 

Because officers believed Logan was armed, PPD requested assistance from the Kansas Highway Patrol Special Response Team and the Labette County Sheriff's Office. After several hours of negotiations, Logan surrendered around 10:30am yesterday morning without incident. Logan is being booked into the Labette County Jail on requested charges of aggravated battery and discharge of a firearm within city limits. Police say additional charges are possible as the investigation continues.
