OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) Overland Park officials agreed to release an investigative report into the fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old, just hours after a group of faith leaders called for the police chief s resignation over his department s handling of the case.
On Monday, members of MORE2 said Chief Frank Donchez should resign because of a pattern of a lack of “transparency, accountability and discipline” in the department. A city statement released later in the day did not address the issue of whether Donchez would step down.
The department has been under scrutiny since an officer fatally shot John Albers as the juvenile backed out of his family s driveway in 2018.

FRANKLIN, Ind. – The Johnson County Prosecutor’s Office said Wednesday that Joshua Medcalf, 31, was sentenced on a charge of aggravated battery for a Christmas Day stabbing of another inmate at the Johnson County Jail.
On December 25, 2019, Medcalf was captured on video during the early morning hours in the common area of his cell block approaching fellow inmate Phillip Lasley from behind. Lasley was on a video call at the time.
Medcalf could reportedly be seen removing an object from his waistband and then repeatedly striking Lasley with it in the upper body and head area. Lasley was eventually able to get the object, later determined it to be a broken piece of a broom handle, away from Medcalf.
