Kansas City, Kansas, police have arrested one suspect in a string of Lawrence armed robberies that left one dog dead in June.

Pierre Percy Walker, 19, was arrested July 3 on suspicion of aggravated robbery in Kansas City, said Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Lt. Kelli Bailiff. Walker is currently held in the Wyandotte County Jail.

The arrest was unrelated to the incidents in Lawrence, said Lawrence Police Department Sgt. Amy Rhoads.

Bailiff said Lawrence police have a detainer on Walker, meaning as soon as he is released from Wyandotte County Jail he will be transferred to the Douglas County Jail to face further charges.

Rhoads said Walker will face criminal charges for three aggravated robberies and one count of cruelty to animals.

Two other suspects remain at large, Rhoads said. She did not say whether police have identified the other parties involved.

In the early morning hours of June 6, three armed men approached three different victims at three separate locations and stole from them, police said. A shotgun was used during each robbery and in one case a dog was shot to death while on a walk with its owner.

Soon after the robberies police said they recovered a small SUV thought to be involved, but no further information was released pending an investigation.

Anyone with further information on the incidents is encouraged to call Douglas County Crime Stoppers at 785-843-8477 or the Lawrence Police Department at 785-832-7501.
