(KAIR)--A Leavenworth woman has pled guilty to charges related to the 2019 shoting death of a then 23-year-old Leavenworth man, whose body was found in a ditch in rural Leavenworth County.

According to a release from the office of Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, 37-year-old Patricia Perkins, in Leavenworth County District Court this month, pled guilty to second-degree murder and robbery in the shooting death of Travis Doughty.
She is scheduled to be sentenced September 20 in a Leavenworth County courtroom.

The release, citing court documents, says that Perkins, and two others, hatched a plot to rob Doughty of money, doing so by Perkins driving him to a rural Leavenworth County area, near Oak Mills Road, with the promise that the group would target shoot with guns. Instead, Doughty was shot and robbed of his money, with his body found March 12, 2019 in a ditch.

One of the alleged participants in the crime has since died from circumstances unrelated to Doughty's murder.
