KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An inmate at the Lansing Correctional Facility was killed Friday night, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
The detention center contacted KBI just after 9:30 p.m. to assist in the investigation of a suspicious resident death.
KBI reports corrections officers were called to a two-person cell by a 25-year-old inmate.
Gary Raburn, 62, was located unresponsive inside the cell. KBI's investigation concludes he was attacked or strangled.
While life-saving measures were attempted to resuscitate Raburn, he was declared deceased around an hour after the initial call for help.
A suspect has been identified and charges are pending, per KBI.
Further investigation, including an autopsy, is ongoing.
Raburn was sentenced to two counts of violating the Kansas Offender Registration Act after a 2017 violation in Sedgwick County.
In 2005, Raburn had an aggravated kidnapping offense in Neosho County.
