JOHNSON COUNTY —A woman involved in a deadly crash during a police chase is going to prison.
Last week, Shyanne Canady, 23, was sentenced to 10-years in prison, according to the Johnson County District Attorney's office.
In May she pleaded guilty to aggravated battery and second-degree murder, according to the District Attorney office. The incident involved a deadly crash that began as a shoplifting incident in Overland Park.
In November 2023, police responded to a reported theft in progress in the 7900 block of W. 160th Street, according to Overland Park Police.
Officers identified the suspect vehicle and initiated a pursuit after the suspects refused to comply with commands to stop. The pursuit continued onto northbound Blue Valley Parkway from U.S. 69 Highway.
The driver of the suspect vehicle disregarded a red traffic signal and collided with a westbound car on Blue Valley Parkway at W. 119th Street. One of the women in the suspect's vehicle later died from injuries.
