According to court records, the victim, identified as 17-year-old Amauri Hughes, went to Anderson’s house in Kansas City.
Anderson told police he and the victim had been in a long relationship.
On Saturday, Nov. 11, a witness called police and told them she had seen Hughes restrained in a surrender position. The following day officers were tipped that they could find the victim at another residence.
Grandview officers responded and found Hughes in a lot near the area of E. 127th Street and White Avenue. She had suffered trauma, including stab and gunshot wounds. Also a tooth was missing, according to court documents.
