Around 4 p.m., just a few hours before the Kansas City Chiefs were scheduled to play against the Cincinnati Bengals, a Kansas City police officer was speeding in a blue Kansas City police Ford van when he struck the rear of a red Mitsubishi Lancer that was caught up in traffic congestion. The driver of the Lancer was Chandan Rajanna. He was killed. Two passengers were injured. Former officer Terrell E. Watkins, 35, pleaded guilty to first-degree involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree assault and a misdemeanor count of careless and imprudent driving.
