“My husband was home working on the deck, and he heard three gunshots go off,” she said.
Karanja said Dodds had been an exemplary tenant and never caused problems during his time living at the property.
“He was a very good tenant,” she said.
“It was very quiet over there.”
“It’s certainly a tragedy.”
Police Chief Oakman used the case to highlight what he described as a broader pattern of youth violence affecting the community.
According to Oakman, police have made 42 arrests over the past two weeks while recovering eight firearms and seizing nearly nine pounds of methamphetamine.
“I can’t understand going in my 15-year-old’s room and seeing an AK-47 automatic weapon,” Oakman said.
“And I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s fine, no big deal.’”
The investigation remains ongoing as detectives continue gathering evidence and preparing the case for prosecution.
Sheriff’s deputies are expected to transport Johnson, Nash and McGee from Harvey County back to Wyandotte County to formally face the charges.
