Wichita woman sentenced for role in Harvey County killings

35-year-old Myrta Rangel, of Wichita, was sentenced to six years in federal prison for her role in three deaths in Harvey County.

Rangel was convicted of giving a gun to someone she knew was a felon, while knowing the gun would be used in a drug trafficking crime. She admitted to giving a handgun to Jereme Nelson, who pled guilty to killing Travis Street, Angela Graevs and Richard Prouty. Prosecutors said this involved a drug deal in rural Harvey County, in October of 2016.

Rangel and Nelson fled to Mexico after the killings. They were eventually caught and returned to the U.S. in January of 2017.

Nelson agreed to 39 years in prison as part of plea deal that kept him from facing the death penalty. He is still awaiting formal sentencing.
