The family members of the victims of  Monday's quadruple homicide told The Kansas City Star and KCTV-5 that Adrian Wayne Burks had threatened to kill 21-year-old Amanda J. Remmers and everyone in the home at 5234 Munice Drive.

Remmers, 66-year-old James A. Warren, 41-year-old Peggy Castleberry and

3-year-old Juanita D. Castleberry-Bess were found shot to death Monday.



Burks was arrested on Tuesday following a police chase that ended

in a crash. The 37-year-old Burks was charged with an aggravated battery that also happened Monday. KCTV-5 reports that the man who Burks allegedly beat up was seen with Remmers at an auto parts store earlier that day.

Burks has not been charged in the quadruple homicide. However, he has been

referred to as a "person of interest."

Burks did have a criminal record, which included fatally shooting a man in March. Burks' cousin told the Star the shooting was in "self-defense."

Here's a clip:

In that incident, Burks and two other men struggled with a gun, according to police. All three were shot, but Johnny Baer, 24, later died from his injuries.


Burks was never charged.


But it wasn't the last brush Burks had with Baer's family. In

April, Burks was charged with battery and a criminal threat against

Baer's sister in Johnson County. As part of his bond agreement, Burks

was ordered not to contact the woman and a witness. He was also ordered

not to consume alcohol or drugs and not to possess firearms.


Burks also has served about 10 years in Kansas prisons for robbery and aggravated burglary.

Burks is currently locked up in the Wyandotte County jail.

The Wyandotte

County District Attorney's Office has scheduled a press conference

for 9:30 a.m. to talk about the quadruple homicide investigation. We'll have more after.

Wow, he came after the family. Take seriously any threats by persons of "diverse" nature. Do not expect Western standards of behavior. Protect those you love.
