KANSAS CITY —A teen has been charged for his role in causing injuries to a young woman whose body was found in a Grandview parking lot near a residence, according to Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker.

Tyheem V. Anderson, 19, faces three criminal felony counts: Assault 1st Degree, Armed Criminal Action and Kidnapping.

According to court records filed Wednesday, the victim went to Anderson's house in Kansas City.  Anderson told police he and victim had been in a long relationship.

On Nov. 11, 2023, a witness called police and told them she had seen the victim restrained in a surrender position. The following day officers were tipped that they could find the victim at another residence.

A tooth was also missing.  Officers searched a Kansas City residence, where they found mail and other items with the Anderson's name on them. They also found blood and a tooth. Anderson admitted to being with victim on Nov. 12, when they had an argument.
