枪杀Wyandotte县副警长Elijah Ming的男子认罪 承认死刑级谋杀罪、12月18日量刑
据KMBC报道，被控于2025年7月在堪萨斯州Kansas City枪杀Wyandotte县警长办公室副警长Elijah Ming的男子Shawn Harris已经认罪，承认死刑级谋杀（capital murder）罪名，量刑定于2026年12月18日举行；按堪萨斯州法律，该罪的强制刑为终身监禁、不得假释。
据美联社此前的报道，Elijah Ming时年34岁，在警长办公室任职九年。2025年7月一个周六下午约3时45分，一名住在该住宅的女子因担心自身安全正试图搬离，称屋内男子曾以枪支威胁前来帮忙搬家的朋友，遂请求执法人员到场维持秩序。Ming与一名Kansas City, Kansas市警员走近住宅时，屋内男子开火，Ming身中多枪，送医数小时后不治。开枪男子在对峙中也中枪，与警方谈判约一小时后投降被捕，伤情稳定。
Harris时年38岁，此前有加重抢劫等犯罪前科。他被地方检察官Mark Dupree Sr.以死刑级谋杀与重罪人员持有武器等罪名起诉，一度以200万美元保释金关押在邻县Johnson县监狱，州死刑辩护单位曾为无力聘请律师的他提供辩护。
Man Pleads Guilty to Capital Murder in Shooting Death of Wyandotte County Deputy Elijah Ming
A man accused of fatally shooting Wyandotte County Sheriff's Office Deputy Elijah Ming in Kansas City, Kansas, in July 2025 has pleaded guilty to capital murder, KMBC reported. Sentencing is scheduled for December 18, 2026, and under Kansas law the mandatory sentence for the offense is life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Deputy Elijah Ming, 34, was a nine-year veteran of the sheriff's office. According to the Associated Press, on a Saturday afternoon in July 2025, at about 3:45 p.m., a woman living at a home had asked law enforcement to stand by while she moved out, saying the man inside, Shawn Harris, had threatened friends who were helping her move. As Ming and a Kansas City, Kansas, police officer approached the home, Harris opened fire. Ming was hit multiple times and died hours later at a hospital. Harris was also shot during the exchange, barricaded himself inside, and surrendered after about an hour of negotiations.
Harris, 38, who had previously served time for aggravated robbery and other crimes, was charged by District Attorney Mark Dupree Sr. with capital murder and with violating a Kansas law barring people with felony records from possessing weapons. He was initially jailed in neighboring Johnson County on $2 million bond, and the state's capital defense unit was appointed to represent him.
