The boyfriend of a Northland woman has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with her death.
Court records said that William Shivers asphyxiated Julie A. Johnson, 40, at her home on Tuesday on North Tracy Avenue near Northeast 103rd Street.
Police said the suspect called a relative and told her that he had just killed his girlfriend. Kansas City police took Shivers into custody shortly after the death and a short chase.
Police reported to the home shortly before 12:30 a.m. Tuesday. Police said when they arrived, they found Johnson's body with a pillow covering her face. The victim was declared dead at the scene.
Neighbors said Johnson lived there with her three children. Witnesses said the children were not there at the time.
