Keshawn Dawson made his first court appearance Thursday in Sedgwick County after being returned to Kansas on Wednesday.
He was charged with first-degree intentional murder, first-degree murder in the commission of a felony, six counts of aggravated battery and criminal discharge of a firearm, KWCH-TV reported.
