NFL: Kansas City Chiefs' Jovan Belcher was found sleeping in his car before committing murder-suicide Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher told officers who found him sleeping in his car outside an apartment complex hours before he committed a murder-suicide that he was there to visit a woman he described as his "girlfriend," but that she wasn't home.
The apartment complex is about 10 miles from the Kansas City, Mo., home Belcher shared with 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins, the mother of their 3-month-old daughter. Belcher shot Perkins at their home Saturday morning before driving to Arrowhead Stadium, where he committed suicide in the practice facility's parking lot, police said.
Police responded to a report about 2:50 a.m. Saturday of a man sleeping in his car outside an apartment building, police spokesman Darin Snapp said Tuesday. When police approached the car, Belcher got out of the vehicle and was cooperative, Snapp said.
"We ask him, 'Why are you sleeping here,' and he says he's there to visit his girlfriend, but she's not home," Snapp said.
When police determined Belcher didn't have any outstanding warrants, Snapp said Belcher, 25, made a phone call and a short time later, a woman let Belcher into her building. Police did not question the woman and don't know who she is, Snapp said.
