According to court records, Perkins and two additional individuals schemed a plan to rob Doughty, 23 years old at the time, of money. Perkins would ultimately drive the vehicle. The scheme involved picking up Doughty and driving him to a rural area of Leavenworth County near Oak Mills Road. Perkins and the two additional individuals lured Doughty to the scene under the guise that the group would shoot guns. Once there, Doughty was shot and robbed of his money. Doughty’s body was found on March 12, 2019, according to a release from the office of Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson.

“If you play a role in a crime, you are still responsible for the crime,” Thompson said. “Law enforcement did a great job in putting this case together, and we still have more to do.”
