@sacramentourbanmedia916: FOLLOW: A 27-year-old woman has been charged with first-degree murder after authorities say a 93-year-old woman was found dead inside her Kansas City home. According to prosecutors, caregivers discovered Diana Barco unresponsive in her shower after noticing her walker outside the front door. Investigators say she had suffered multiple stab wounds and signs of strangulation. Police also found blood inside the bathroom and a detached shower hose wrapped around the victim’s upper body. As detectives investigated, they linked the suspect, Kelisha Reeves, to nearby incidents of alleged arson and property damage that occurred around the same time. In one of those cases, witnesses told police someone in Reeves’ group allegedly said, “If I can’t have a place to live, neither can you.” Authorities later arrested Reeves in southern Missouri, where they say she was found with the victim’s credit card—allegedly altered with the victim’s name scratched off—as well as other items believed to have been taken from the home. Reeves told investigators the elderly woman had invited her inside, offered shelter, and voluntarily gave her the credit card to help her find a safe place to stay. Detectives, however, allege the evidence contradicts that account. Reeves is being held on a $1 million bond and is scheduled to appear in court on June 30.
