A Kansas man faces charges of attempted first-degree murder after allegedly launching an unprovoked stabbing attack on a woman at a park in Olathe, according to local authorities.
The suspect, 27-year-old Kwan Noble Trezvant, was apprehended after police received a report of an armed disturbance on Thursday. The incident left 38-year-old Jamie Trumpp, as identified in court records, with life-threatening injuries, stated the Olathe Police Department.
Officers were dispatched at 12:06 p.m. to the vicinity of the 1000 block of North Ridgeview Road, where they discovered Trumpp suffering from stab wounds.
Trezvant was subsequently taken into custody following the violent incident that critically injured the woman, officials confirmed.
Trumpp was rushed to a nearby hospital and, despite the severity of her injuries, she is expected to survive, reported the Olathe Reporter.
Police told the outlet the attack was “completely unprovoked.”
Trumpp is a choir teacher at Indian Trail Middle School, and community members have organized a meal train fundraiser for her family, the Reporter added.

The Johnson County District Attorney’s Office alleged in its complaint that Trezvant cut Trumpp with a knife in an act of attempted first-degree murder, defined as attempting to “unlawfully, feloniously, intentionally and with premeditation kill a human being.”
Trezvant appeared in court Friday, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 26. He is being held on a $500,000 bond.

Trezvant previously pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery of a law enforcement officer in 2024 and was sentenced to nearly four months in jail.
In 2020, he pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors — obstructing the legal process and possession of drug paraphernalia — and was released on time served.
