Charges – – including charges of first-degree murder – – have been filed against three individuals in Barton County District Court.
The charges stem from a shooting incident on November 15 that resulted in the death of Aron Villegas, 23, of Great Bend.
Criminal complaints have been filed against Alejo Villegas, Adam Eugene Suppes, and Juventino Villegas, all of Great Bend. The charges against all three individuals include murder, aggravated burglary, aggravated battery, and criminal damage to property.
Additionally, a separate charge of possession of cocaine was filed against Suppes.
All three individuals have appeared before a judge to be advised of the charges and to determine representation by counsel.
Preliminary examinations have been set in two of the cases for December 10, but it is possible that these hearings will be delayed.
The Great Bend Police Department and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation are continuing the investigation into the shooting.
