JOHNSON COUNTY —A Kansas man is going to prison for a knife attack killing in 2021.

Last week, Judge Thomas Sutherland sentenced John Daniel Crawford Murry to 371 months for second degree intentional murder, agggravated robbery and aggravated burglary of a dwelling, according to the Johnson County District Attorney's office.

In June, Murry pleaded guilty to the death of Chargles Dillon in October of 2022. In November of 2022, police arrested Murry and c0-defendant Devin Braswell following an investigation by the Merriam Police Department, Johnson County Crime Lab, the Metro Squad and the district attorney's office. 

Just after 11p.m. on October 21, 2021 Merriam police responded to a reported stabbing near Royalty Way and Kings Cove Drive. First responders located a victim, who was later identified as Dillon. He died at the scene.
