A man from Kansas faces charges of attempted first-degree murder following an alleged unprovoked stabbing incident involving a woman at a park in Olathe, as confirmed by local authorities.
The suspect, 27-year-old Kwan Noble Trezvant, was apprehended after police were alerted on Thursday to a violent disturbance involving a weapon. This incident left 38-year-old Jamie Trumpp with severe injuries, according to information from the Olathe Police Department.
Officers received the call at 12:06 p.m. and arrived at the 1000 block of North Ridgeview Road, where they discovered Trumpp suffering from multiple stab wounds.
Trumpp was promptly transported to a hospital for medical care, and reports from the Olathe Reporter indicate that she is expected to recover.
Authorities have described the assault as “completely unprovoked,” according to statements made to the local media outlet.
Trumpp, who works as a choir teacher at Indian Trail Middle School, has received support from the community, which has started a meal train fundraiser to assist her family, as noted by the Reporter.
The Johnson County District Attorney’s Office alleged in its complaint that Trezvant cut Trumpp with a knife in an act of attempted first-degree murder, defined as attempting to “unlawfully, feloniously, intentionally and with premeditation kill a human being.”
Trezvant appeared in court Friday, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 26. He is being held on a $500,000 bond.
Trezvant previously pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery of a law enforcement officer in 2024 and was sentenced to nearly four months in jail.
In 2020, he pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors — obstructing the legal process and possession of drug paraphernalia — and was released on time served.
