A Lawrence man shot himself in Manhattan on Saturday morning and was airlifted to Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka, according to a news release from the Riley County Police Department.

RCPD officers were looking for Matthew Lesley Tessendorf, 33, at approximately 11:21 a.m. to check on him and located Tessendorf at 1016 N. Juliette Ave., according to the release.

Tessendorf had a hand gun, and after police officers spoke to him for a short period of time, shot himself, according to the release. Tessendorf was transported to Mercy Regional Health Center and was later airlifted to Stormont Vail Hospital.

Man held on $2.5M bond

Luis Antonio Aguirre was transferred from the Travis County Jail in Austin, Texas, to the Riley County Jail, according to another news release from the RCPD.

Aguirre, 22, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder Oct. 30 after the remains of Tanya Carmen Lydia Maldonado, 18, and Juan Luis Maldonado, 15 months, both of Chicago, were found on Oct. 25.

Aguirre lived in Ogden, Kan., until recently when detectives learned he had gone to Austin.

Aguirre waived extradition from Texas last week and is being held on a $2.5 million bond. His first appearance date has not been set.
