Monday Mugshot: Kansas City Man Charged In Triple Homicide Of Three Women

Follow-up on one of the most horrific acts of violence this suburban community has ever witnessed.

There will be some chatter about the dude as an illegal but nothing in the charging documents to indicate as much . . . Judging from looks, he's probably just vaguely Latino like about nearly 1/5th of the U.S.

But more importantly . . . Here's the basics of today's charges . . .

"According to Platte County court records, 50-year-old Armando Navarro Jr. has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder, four counts of armed criminal action, one count of first-degree assault, and one misdemeanor charge for animal abuse."

TRIGGER WARNING . . .

This extend quote recounts the shooting from testimony in court dox, don't read it if you're really sensitive about this kind of stuff . . . 

"According to the Platte County Prosecutor’s Office, the surviving victim lived at the home with her mother, grandmother, sister and her mother’s boyfriend, Navarro.

"After being asked to leave the house multiple times, the surviving victim said Navarro left the room where all the women were gathered. She said they all believed he was packing a bag to leave, but he returned shortly after with a gun and a knife.

"Court documents said he then started shooting at the women and their family dog.

"The surviving victim told police that her mother was shot in the arm, and as she tried to help her, Navarro grabbed a knife. Court documents said that her mother then shielded the surviving victim from Navarro with her own body.

"After running out of ammunition in his original handgun, the prosecutor’s office said Navarro grabbed a larger gun and shot the surviving victim’s mother and sister before trying to shoot at her.

"However, court documents said Navarro missed, only hitting the surviving victim’s hair. This allowed her to escape to a nearby home where a neighbor called 911."
