Kansas law officers are searching for a Wyandotte County woman wanted for first degree murder after the Garnett man she was in a relationship with, allegedly died after consuming her fentanyl.
A first degree murder charge, filed earlier this month in Anderson County District Court, names Shi Kinney of Lenexa, in the April 7th death of 38-year old James Lewis of Garnett. Charges against Kinney include a single count of first degree murder as well as a count of possession of fentanyl and possession of drug paraphernalia. Anderson Count Attorney Elizabeth Oliver says the state believes Kinney and Lewis were involved in a romantic relationship and Kinney was living in Garnett for a period of time when Lewis died after ingesting fentanyl in her possession. The complaint filed in District Court names 37 witnesses, including local law officers, emergency personnel and medical staff and others involved in the investigation.
Anyone with information on Kinney’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Anderson County Sheriff’s Department.
