Jackson County prosecutors charged Gevante D. Anderson, 24, of Kansas City today with four counts of first-degree murder in connection with the March quadruple homicides in Raytown.
From The Star's Mark Morris:
Anderson also was charged with one count of burglary and
five counts of armed criminal action.
Anderson may have had a past relationship with Triplett.

It's about time. Somehow I knew it was somebody that knew the victims. Shooting little children, not because of revenge or they had something worth stealing, but because they could identify him, was the tip-off.

I was wondering what was going on with the case. Glad they got all the scientific data they needed to charge this filthy excuse of flesh! Fry his ass ASAP!!

It was pretty easy to figure who it was. His child was left unharmed.

So the 1 y/o was his? That makes sense, too. As I said, leaving the little one and killing the 10 and 7 year old kids made me think right off the bat they could identify him. I did ask James if he had an update. It just seemed like a loooong time after the Metro Squad said they believed Raytown PD would have no problem filing charges with the info they had. And then nothing....
146, are you a LEO? Could you tell us which dept. you work for? If 146 is your badge # or car #, I don't want to break your anonimity. Just curious.

Yes JJ, but no I won't say anymore. There's just way too many cop haters in here. I wouldn't want them coming down here and telling me how it is.

There arent as many cop haters as you think.. just bad cop haters.. there seems to be a growing arena.

Alonzo Washington, on his MySpace postings, is stating that he knew who the killer was since April. WTF? He has to claim credit for everything?
Alonzo Washington also states "According to my source the 2 adults killed in this case were moving drugs that were worth a lot of money. The type of money that crooks would kill for."
So now, without a shred of proof, Alonzo Washington is calling Prescious Triplett a drug dealer and that is why she and the other 3 were murdered.

Would make sense though Norm.
