Man, 81, arrested in Topeka killing in front of his home

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Police say an 81-year-old man has been arrested in the deadly shooting of another man in Topeka.

The Topeka Capital-Journal (https://bit.ly/2pARmKP ) reports that the suspect has been booked into jail on suspicion of aggravated assault and first-degree murder in the Monday night killing of 36-year-old Stephen Snyder.

Capt. Jana Harden says police already had been contacted about gunfire when the suspect called police to report that he was the one who had fired gunshots. The victim was found on the sidewalk leading up to the suspect’s home.

Harden says the suspect and victim knew each other, but she didn’t know the relationship between them.
