Kansas Police search for convicted killer
KSNT-TV Channel 27 and Kansas law enforcement officials are asking for tips
to help catch a convicted murderer accused of violating conditions of his parole.
Harrison Lee Pope, 26, was Monday's focus of the Northeast Kansas Most Wanted
program introduced last year by Channel 27 News. The program broadcasts photos
and descriptions on Monday and Wednesday evenings of fugitives selected by local
Kansas authorities.
Pope is wanted by the Kansas Department of Corrections on an outstanding warrant
charging he violated parole, which was granted after he served time in prison.
Pope was sentenced to eight years and one month behind bars for intentional
second-degree murder in the slaying of Alfredo Sauceda. Sauceda, 38, was shot
and killed May 21, 1995, while attending a backyard cookout at 300 S.E. Golden
Ave.
Pope said he went to confront Sauceda because he thought Sauceda was providing
illegal drugs to Pope's mother, Jacqueline Pope, who was receiving treatment
for drug addiction.
Corrections records show Harrison Pope absconded from parole on July 18. He
is a black man who has black hair and brown eyes, stands 6 feet tall and weighs
about 218 pounds.
Authorities ask the public not to try to detain Harrison Pope. Anyone with
information on his whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 234-0007 or
the Kansas Bureau of Investigation at (800) KS-CRIME (572-7463).
