TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A man convicted in a 1993 carjacking and murder in Topeka has been granted parole, but he won’t get out of prison right away.
The Kansas Department of Corrections says 43-year-old Joshua Kaiser was granted parole recently in the death of 33-year-old Tim Riley of Topeka.
Corrections spokesman Samir Arif says Kaiser will still serve a 32-month sentence for an aggravated battery committed in Reno County.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports Kaiser’s sentence for that crime is expected to end January 2021.
Kaiser and 42-year-old Jason Schaeffer, an inmate at Ellsworth Correctional Facility, were convicted of crimes linked to Riley’s murder.
Authorities said Riley was robbed of his car outside his central Topeka home, forced at gunpoint into the trunk and driven to another area, where he was fatally shot.
