Shawnee police say they searched twice Thursday evening for a suspect involved in a domestic disturbance.

Major Sam Larson confirms officers responded to the Cottonwood Park Apartments, 6300 block of Widmer Road, for a reported domestic disturbance around 6:45 p.m.

"[There is] not much more information to give on the search, our officers searched the area with one of our K-9s," Maj. Larson said. "We know who the suspect is, we are not going to release a description of him or information about him."

The search took officers into neighborhoods south of Shawnee Mission Parkway along Pflumm Road. The suspect was not located.

"After an initial search of the area, later around 9:45 p.m., we received a call from a resident in the 13500 block of 66th Terrace who thought they heard something suspicious in their backyard, so we checked that area for the suspect," Maj. Larson said.

The suspect was not located in the second search.

Operation 100 News asked if officers saw the suspect at any point. Maj. Larson replied, "yes."

Major Larson also confirmed to Operation 100 News that officers were also out on a call involving the same suspect at the Cottonwood Park Apartments before 2 p.m. Thursday.

No other details have been released.
