Murder In Kansas, Suicide In Missouri
"LENEXA, KS — Police today identified those killed in a murder and suicide Wednesday.
"Leslie Price, 47, of rural Jackson County, Kan., was found shot dead at a Lenexa construction site in the 8400 block of Lenexa Drive at about 6:30 p.m., Lenexa police said.
"Her estranged husband, James Price, 44, of Denison, Kan., was later found dead from a self inflicted gunshot in a construction trailer at 4900 East 87th St., Kansas City police reported.
"His body was found after a security guard saw a man in the trailer covered with blood with a rifle in front of him, they reported.
"The trailer was at the construction site for an 87th Street improvement project in Kansas City. The city issued a statement saying the body was that of a contractor working at the site. The project was temporarily halted while police investigated."

ReplyDeleteI met Leslie only a couple of times on the jobsite. She was a very fine individual that was an asset to the crew she worked with and was an outstanding employee. I know for a fact that she was well liked and respected. A real touch of class from a woman in a man's world.
This senseless act by her "deranged husband" not estranged husband, is simply tragic.
Leslie is the mother of two children and will be missed by all who knew her.
