A 13-year-old and three 14-year-olds from Olathe have been charged with first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old at an Olathe park, the Johnson County district attorney announced Tuesday.

The four teenagers are charged in the killing of Marco Cardino of Smithville. Officers investigating the sound of shots being fired Saturday found Cardino suffering from multiple gunshot wounds shortly before 4 a.m. in Black Bob Park at 14500 W. 151st Street. Cardino died at the scene.

Police arrested the four teens after contacting everyone involved in the shooting, police said Monday night.

The teens, who are not being identified because they are minors, made their first court appearances Tuesday morning.

The Johnson County District Attorney’s Office has filed motions to prosecute at least three of the teens as adults. One of the them has three pending cases, two of which the defendant is alleged to have possessed a firearm.

US working to keep Israel, Hamas engaged in Gaza truce efforts
Washington said it was trying to keep Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas engaged "if only virtually" in Gaza truce efforts as a U.N. agency warned that humanitarian aid stocks in the devastated enclave have hit "the bottom of the barrel." Hamas said on Friday it would consult with other militant Palestinian factions on its strategy to negotiate a halt to the war triggered by its Oct. 7 onslaught into Israel. The United Nations warned that aid for Gaza could grind to a halt within days after Israel seized control of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt, closing the vital route on which the enclave of 2.3 million Palestinians depends.
