KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Prosecutors have charged a Kansas City man with kidnapping, murder and other counts in the stabbing death last spring of another man whose body was found wrapped in a blue tarp days after he had been reported missing. The Kansas City Star reports that 31-year-old Ahmad Herring has been charged with second-degree felony murder, kidnapping, robbery and other counts. Gilberto Gutierrez’s body was found nearly a week after he had been reported missing, and he had suffered several stab wounds. Investigators say a ransom call was made from Gutierrez’s phone the day he disappeared, and that an investigation led to Herring. Police say they found bleach, vinegar and ammonia in Herring’s trunk and a receipt for a blue tarp.
