the suspect committed what would be first-degree murder and armed
criminal action if he had been 17. It would be up to the court to
certify the teen as an adult.Katie’s body was found about 2 p.m.

HARRISONVILLE, Mo. -- Megan Short's good friend Katy Rios was killed Thursday afternoon."I
was getting on Facebook and I saw on someone's status, it said homicide
and I read the comments and it was Katy, I was like, 'It can't be Katy
Rios. It can't be.' I was in disbelief."
Rios was killed at her home in Cass County near 300th Street and Hess Road."I try to keep it out of my mind," Short said. "It's devastating that someone would do that. It's not right."Juvenile
prosecutors on Friday are holding a 16-year-old male relative in
connection with the slaying. He will have a hearing on Monday.A
Facebook page set up for the 14-year-old shows hundreds of people
sharing stories about the eighth-grade choir member at Harrisonville
Middle School. Many of the people who have posted message are asking
the same question -- what happened?Investigators shed some light
on the killing. Deputies said Rios was home with her two younger
brothers when she was stabbed. The relative suspected in the slaying
then ran away from the scene, police said.It was one of Rios' parents who discovered her body."It
just hits you in the stomach," said Dawn Short, a classmate's parent.
"And of course you think of your own children and what those parents
must be going through. It's really hard. You can't even imagine."What's holding Rios' friends together are the memories of the happy times they had together."She
was basically a baby and far too young to go, but in heaven she is
receiving love that this world could not bestow,” Short said.Prosecutors said that paperwork had not been filed to certify the teen as an adult.

Teen To Stand Trial As Adult In Cass County Killing
Olivas Accused Of Stabbing 14-Year-Old Cousin To Death
POSTED: 12:23 pm CST February 19, 2010
UPDATED: 5:42 pm CST February 19, 2010
HARRISONVILLE, Mo. -- The teen accused in the stabbing death of a 14-year-old Cass County girl will be tried as an adult.
Reyes E. Olivas, 16, appeared in Cass County court on Friday for his certification hearing. Prosecutors said Olivas stabbed his cousin, Katie Rios, several times, killing her in her home south of Harrisonville in January.
Prosecutors called the crime "vicious, serious and deliberate." The judge agreed and ordered Olivas to be transferred to the Cass County Jail where he will await trial.
Court documents released on Friday said a petty argument between the two teens ended with Rios being stabbed six times in the stomach and back. According to the documents, Olivas told police he was playing video games with Rios' brothers when she began teasing him and called him stupid.
Olivas told investigators he became upset and grabbed a knife from the kitchen and chased Rios into her mother's bedroom. Police said she tried to call her parents and as she did, Olivas began stabbing her.
Olivas left the house on foot and officers followed his footprints in the snow to a house about three miles away where they arrested him.
Rios faces a first-degree murder charge and is being held on a $500,000 bond.

Reyes Olivas found guilty of murder, armed criminal action
HARRISONVILLE, Mo. - A Cass County jury determined Thursday that a man who killed a teenage girl in 2010 in her Harrisonville home is guilty of murder in the first degree and armed criminal action.
Reyes E. Olivas, who was 16 when the crime occurred, was tried as an adult for killing Katie Rios, 14 .
Rios' parents found her dead inside her home on South Hess Road south of Harrisonville on Jan. 7, 2010.
According to court documents, Olivas and Rios started arguing while watching TV. That’s when police say, Olivas took a knife from the kitchen and stabbed her.
Sheriff's deputies followed snow tracks and found Olivas inside a home about three miles away the day after the crime.
Sentencing is scheduled to occur on April 2, 2012 at 1:30 p.m.

Jury finds cousin guilty of first-degree murder
Feb. 10--That Reyes E. Olivas killed his young cousin
with a butcher knife while the two were home for a snow day at
Harrisonville schools was never in dispute.
The entire argument at a Cass County murder trial this week was
whether Olivas acted with "cool deliberation" when he stabbed Katie
Rios, 14, multiple times Jan. 7, 2010, at the family's rural home south
of Harrisonville.
The jury needed only 25 minutes Thursday to decide he did. It found
Olivas guilty of first-degree murder. Now 18, Olivas, who had been
staying with the Rios family, faces life in prison with no chance of
parole.
"It would be easy to give the defendant a break because of his age,"
Assistant Prosecutor Scott Wright said during his closing argument.
"But he didn't give Katie a break."
In pushing for second-degree murder, Olivas' public defenders said he acted in temporary rage.
Olivas, who had been certified to stand trial as an adult, did not testify. The defense called no witnesses.
But jurors did see video of a Cass County Sheriff's Office detective
interrogate Olivas after he was picked up the day of the killing.
Officers had tracked him through snow.
Because of his age, an uncle of both Olivas and Katie sat with him during the questioning.
"You be straight up with these people," the uncle told him. "Tell them the truth. What's done is done."
Olivas then told the detective, "I stabbed my cousin."
He said the two argued while watching TV. He got mad when she called him stupid, and he grabbed a knife from the kitchen.
He said he stabbed her "about three times."
Then he packed a bag of clothes. Katie was still alive when he left.
"I could hear her breathing," he told the detective.
When the detective told him she was dead, he began to cry.
Public defender Nate Anderson argued that because Olivas had not
already packed or arranged a ride, the killing lacked premeditation.
"He didn't have an escape plan," Anderson said in arguing for second-degree murder.
Wright said the defendant had all kinds of time to think about what
he was doing, including walking into the kitchen to get a knife.
And even after he got there, Wright said.
"He could have chosen a paring knife or a steak knife, but he chose a butcher knife. That alone shows deliberation."
The verdict came after the jury viewed autopsy photos showing about
20 wounds, including six deep stabs to Katie's chest, stomach and back. A
medical examiner testified some of the cuts penetrated six inches and
pierced her lung, aorta and small intestine.
Katie's parents and other relatives painfully viewed the images. Her father kept his eyes to the courtroom floor.
Earlier in the trial, Katie's mother, Monica Rios, testified that
her daughter had called her that day and asked her to come home. A short
time later, Katie called again. This time, Rios heard only muffled
sounds and a faint cry for help.
The parents arrived home and found their daughter dead and Olivas gone.

Judge sentence Rios to life without parole
Harrisonville teen Reyes Olivas was sentenced April 2 to two
life sentences in connection with the January 2010 murder of his
14-year-old cousin, Katie Rios in the home they shared with the victims
parents south of town.
Cass County Presiding Circuit Judge
Jacqueline Cook sentenced Olivas to life without the possibility of
parole for his first degree murder conviction, and life for his
conviction on a second charge of armed criminal action.
He was found guilty in Cass County Circuit Court of both charges following a two-day trial in February.
Defense attorney Nate Anderson told the jury during the trial that
Olivas did, in fact, stab Rios to death on a bitterly cold January day
when both were at home on their own. A winter storm had closed schools
for the day.
However, he argued, the act was not premeditated.
Prosecutors
argued he had taken time to prepare a large duffel bag with possessions
and supplies before committing the act and leaving the house, and
witnesses testified that he had often complained about his younger
cousin, calling her spoiled and other names.
