Kansas homicide suspects caught in Urbandale

A man and a woman wanted for a homicide in Kansas last week were found in the trunk of a car parked at an Urbandale grocery store on Thursday, police said.

U.S. Marshals told law enforcement in the Des Moines area that Lloyd Wabaunsee, 22, of Mayetta, Kan., and Desiree Kristel Shopteese, 22, of Topeka, Kan., could be in the area. Urbandale Sgt. Gary Lang said Urbandale officers were asked at 9 p.m. to check the Hy-Vee parking lot at 8701 Douglas Ave. for the suspects.

Officers located a vehicle that matched the marshals’ description. Lang said officers ordered everyone out of the vehicle at gunpoint. Wabaunsee and Shopteese were found hiding under blankets in the trunk, claiming to be sleeping. The vehicle’s other occupants, Aaron Lofton, 29, of Topeka and Rachel Hudson, 36, of Holton, Kan., were charged with obstruction of justice.

Wabaunsee and Shopteese are charged with intentional second-degree murder in the Jan. 10 shooting death of Kevin Stanley, 29, in Mayetta, which is north of Topeka.

Shopteese is the former fiancee of David Tiscareno, who shot and killed two Topeka police officers Dec. 16. Tiscareno was shot to death the next day.
