District attorney’s office reviewing details surrounding Ohio Street homicide
The Douglas County District Attorney’s Office is considering charges in a reported homicide on Ohio Street.
The night of Sept. 16 police found Lenny Dwayne Morrison dead in the 400 block of Ohio Street alongside a significantly injured woman.
Morrison’s death was determined to be a homicide, while the woman was treated for her injuries at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and released early the next morning.
On Thursday Cheryl Wright-Kunard, assistant to the Douglas County District Attorney, said the Lawrence Police Department has submitted the results of its investigation to the office and it is currently under review.
And while more than a month has passed since Morrison’s death, Wright-Kunard said the district attorney’s office has no timeline when it comes to making a charging decision.
