A Pittsburg, Kansas man has been charged in connection with a knife attack that led to the death of his sister’s former boyfriend.
24-year-old Morgan Prager made his first appearance Wednesday in Sedgwick County district court. He was charged with second degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He is due back in court on January 30th.
Prager was arrested in Pittsburg after an assault was reported in Wichita on January 11th. 19-year-old Vincent Venturella was taken to a hospital with a severe laceration to his neck, and he died two days later. Police believe Prager and Venturella were involved in an ongoing dispute that led to the assault at a home in the 200 block of North Spruce.
