Homicide victims' families pray for peace

KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -

A Kansas City church is working to build awareness about the crime problem in the city.

Members of the Wornall Road Baptist Church on 63rd Street have put up more than 100 white crosses - one for each of the men and women murdered in Kansas City this year.

The church hosted a special service Tuesday night for all the victims' families, as they make their way through the first holiday season without their loved ones.

The pastor says he wants the victims' families to know they are not forgotten.

But the church also wants the city to know how big the violence problem is.

"They are also a symbol to the city at this busy intersection of the tremendous problem the city faces. We can't ignore it. We can't see it on the news and then forget about it," said pastor John Mark Clifton with the Wornall Road Baptist Church.  "We have come to realize these murders are our problem. This is our city."

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said. The victim's identity had not been determined as of late Wednesday afternoon. The body was turned over to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
