Prosecutors in Leavenworth County today filed a murder charge against a 23-year-old Lansing man in the shooting death of a pregnant woman.
Sadale Fox, who was charged with one count of first-degree murder, will appear Friday morning in Leavenworth County District Court. He remains in jail on $1.5 million bond.
Fox is accused of shooting Olivia Jackson, 20, in the head on Tuesday at a mobile home in Lansing that she was visiting.
Also today, officials arrested a 21-year-old Farley, Mo., man on charges of conspiracy to commit murder in connection with a pipe-bombing incident on Jan. 11 at a Leavenworth house. Jackson and her sister were at that house at the time, but escaped unharmed. Prosecutors said they expected to file charges against the Missouri man on Friday.

Point of View
What do you think about a proposed ban on smoking in public places such as restaurants, bars and workplaces?
As much as I hate government interfering with our lives, I love the smoking ban. Going out in Lawrence is so nice without smelling cigarette smoke at your table while eating.
