HARVEY COUNTY – Law enforcement authorities are searching for two people accused in connection with Sunday’s triple homicide in Harvey County.

Sheriff T. Walton says in a posting on his department’s Facebook page that 35-year-old Jereme Nelson and 31-year-old Myrta Rangel are charged in arrest warrants with capital murder and three counts of first-degree murder.

Their bond has been set at $1 million each, and the sheriff’s department believes they are in Oklahoma.

The bodies of 33-year-old Travis Street, 37-year-old Angela Graevs and the couple’s Newton friend, 52-year-old Richard Prouty were found Sunday outside a home in a rural area near Moundridge. The victims had been shot.

Harvey County Prosecuting Attorney David Yoder says the motive for the killings appears to be drug-related.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say multiple people may have been involved in the deadly shootings of three people in rural central Kansas.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton wouldn’t elaborate Wednesday or say how many people may have been involved in the killings. He discussed the possibility of multiple suspects a couple of hours after authorities said a 35-year-old man is being sought for questioning.

The victims have been identified as 33-year-old Travis Street, 37-year-old Angela Graevs and the couple’s Newton friend, 52-year-old Richard Prouty. Their bodies and the couple’s unharmed 18-month-old were found Sunday outside a home in a rural area south of Moundridge. The couple was facing drug and child

endangerment charges.

Harvey County Attorney David Yoder says the motive appears to be drug-related.
