Officers began their investigation and were able to determine a suspect and suspect vehicle description which was broadcast to surrounding agencies.
A short time later, officers were notified that the suspect vehicle had been located at a nursing facility in Raymore. Belton officers responded to the facility and, with the assistance of Raymore officers, were able to identify and locate the driver of the suspect vehicle.
This individual was taken into custody for further investigation. Officers were also able to locate and recover a weapon of the same caliber used in the shooting at the scene.
On 12-25-2024, the Cass County Prosecutor’s Office charged Pharrell Canady of Belton with three counts of Unlawful Use of a Weapon and three counts of Armed Criminal Action in relation to these incidents. Pharrell is currently being held in the Cass County Jail on no bond.
This is yet another example of the teamwork between your Belton officers, the public, our partner law enforcement agencies and the Cass County Prosecutor’s Office resulting in a dangerous criminal being taken off the streets.
