Police from across Johnson County converge on Mission Hills after shots fired

Posted: August 18, 2018 - 11:43 a.m.

Prairie Village Police say they were called to 3000 block of West 69th Street at 3:33 Saturday morning on a report of a mental disturbance.

A Mission Police Officer armed with a rifle watches the area of Tomahawk Road and Mission Road early Saturday morning as officers search for a man with a gun.

Officers arrived and contacted a man who was armed with a handgun.

"The subject fired shots and fled the area on foot," Prairie Village Police Captain Byron Roberson said in a news release. "A perimeter was set up with the assistance of a number of outside agencies."

Officers from across Johnson County responded to the calls for assistance from the Prairie Village officers who had contacted the man.

Those officers surrounded the north side of the Indian Hills Golf Course and the Country Club at 6847 Tomahawk Road. Several employees were evacuated from the building and moved to a nearby parking lot, just outside of the search area.

A Leawood Police Officer escorts two employees from the Indian Hills Country Club to the edge of the search area.

Recorded radio traffic from the officers in the area indicated that officers continued to hear sporadic gunfire through the first two hours that they were searching for the man.

The Olathe Police Department sent their MRAP "rescue vehicle" to assist with the search. MRAP is short for Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected.

The Kansas City, Missouri Police Department sent an armored vehicle with a small team of officers to assist, as did the Olathe and Overland Park Police Departments.
Lenexa Police and the Johnson County Sheriff's Office both sent officers with drones to search from above.

Police from as far away as Olathe sent officers to assist in surrounding the search area.

About 6:30 a.m., Prairie Village officers spotted the man going door-to-door along 69th Street, near where officers initially contacted him.

Police say he was then taken into custody without incident.

"The subject was transported to an area hospital for a mental health evaluation and pending charges through the Johnson County District Attorney's Office," Capt. Roberson said in the release.

Douglas County prosecutors have charged Dashawn C. Clayborn, 22, of Kansas City, Kansas with attempted first-degree murder, automobile burglary, theft of a vehicle, attempting to elude police, criminal damage to property, and driving while his license was suspended.

Prosecutors allege that Clayborn was involved in a fight in the 3000 block of Steven Drive on January 30th. During the fight, Stephen Patterson, 27, of Lawrence, was shot twice.

Patterson was flown to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kansas with critical injuries.

According to a Lawrence Police Department news release, received on February 2nd, Stephen Patterson is no longer hospitalized.

My reporting partners at the Lawrence Journal-World report that Clayborn's bond has been set at $100,000.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office has not released Dashawn Clayborn's booking photo.

Original report

Officers were called shortly before 12:40 Friday morning to the 3000 block of Steven Drive. On arrival officers located a person with a gunshot wound to the back and a second possible wound to the jaw.

Fire Medical crews reported the victim to be in critical condition and requested a Life Star helicopter to respond. The helicopter landed on the north side of West Middle School, 2700 Harvard Road, and transported the victim to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kansas.

The Journal-World's Caitlin Doornbos was with police at the intersection of Wellington Road and Steven Drive, where officers used a public address speaker in attempt to contact anyone inside 3009 Steven Drive. An armored police vehicle arrived at the scene shortly before 2 a.m.

Police received a search warrant for the address around 3 a.m. and entered the home around 3:10.

Caitlin Doornbos reported that police searched the home, but did not find anyone inside.

Lawrence Police Department spokesperson Sergeant Trent McKinley says, "a 22-year-old, Kansas City, Kansas man was arrested shortly before 8 a.m. this morning following a vehicle pursuit on K-10 highway that ended near Eudora."

McKinley says around 7:40 a.m. officers received information on a vehicle, left running in a driveway near 24th and Alabama Streets, being stolen. An officer spotted the vehicle on East 23rd Street and attempted to stop it.

"A pursuit ensued, reaching speeds of approximately 100 miles-per-hour before the suspect lost control of the vehicle and crashed near K-10 and Church Street in Eudora," McKinley said.

The suspect was taken into custody and transported to an area hospital for non-life threatening injuries sustained in the crash.

McKinley says, "the suspect will be transported to the Douglas County Jail on a number of charges, following his medical treatment."
