HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The 34-year-old man jailed early New Year’s Day for a charge of voluntary manslaughter after he allegedly stabbed a man to death was before a judge Monday morning where he became agitated over his bond.
Kevin Wayne Ginn Jr. allegedly stabbed 24-year-old Deshamus Diron Lucky during a large disturbance just after 2 a.m. in the area of 8th & Madison.
It started at the Grand Slam Sports Bar where Ginn may have been struck by the victim of the stabbing. The victim then left that bar and went to another. Ginn then showed up at that bar upset, so the victim then left there and went to the party in the 300 block of West 8th.
That’s when the suspect showed up and got into an altercation with another man, Mark Morgan, who was apparently cut with the knife as well. Lucky was stabbed during that altercation in his upper chest and collapsed on a porch. He was transported by Reno County EMS to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center where he later died from his wound. Police have not yet charged Ginn for the wounds to Morgan, but that could still happen.
Ginn was taken to Hutchinson Regional to be treated for injuries, then taken to jail.
He complained during his appearance about the bond. He said he was told it was only going to be $10,500, but when taken to jail complained that it was set at $50,000. He requested a bond reduction, however, Magistrate Judge Cheryl Allen denied the request which made the defendant angry, so much so that jailers at the Reno County Correctional Facility cut him off, telling him, “you’re done.”
The next court appearance will be next Monday when the state is expected to have filed formal charges.
Ginn is no stranger to the law with convictions for aggravated false impersonation, aggravated assault, domestic battery, drugs, battery of a law enforcement officer, assault of a law enforcement officer, criminal damage and obstruction. Most of the convictions are out of Sedgwick County, but also includes convictions in Johnson, Labette and Wyandotte counties.
Police are still asking that anyone with information in regard to this case should call Hutchinson Police Detective Dean Harcrow at 694-2867 or you can call Crime Stoppers of Reno County at 1-800-222-TIPS.
