The Montgomery County Chronicle reported Monday that Makinzy Mary Alice Steeves, 20, of Topeka, was arrested in Coffeyville Thursday. Steeves was charged by the Montgomery County Attorney with several criminal counts related to the March 13 shooting that led to the death of Nasha Gregory, 15, of Chanute.
