A Missouri man who threatened to 'kill all white people' and was already charged with slaughtering three in the Kansas City area was indicted Friday in the murders of three other people.

Frederick Demond Scott, a 23-year-old black man, is now charged in the murders of five white men and one white woman in total, although investigators and prosecutors have not discussed a motive for the killings.

After the indictments, Scott faces a total of six counts of first-degree murder and six counts of armed criminal action in a string of killings that began in August 2016.

Scott was indicted Friday in the deaths of David Lenox, 67, Timothy Rice, 57, and Michael Darby, 61.

Scott's mother previously told authorities and The Kansas City Star that her son is schizophrenic.

All five of the male victims were shot as they walked on or near the Indian Creek trails or, in one case, walked home after getting off a bus. The female victim was homeless and her decomposing body was found in a tent in woods in Grandview. She also was shot, police said.

Kansas City Police spokesman Lionel Colon said he has 'no information that suggests the investigation' into other potential victims.

Scott made his comment about wanting to kill people while he was a student in January 2014 at an alternative school near Kansas City, according to a municipal citation for harassment regarding the case.

His mother said she did odd jobs for white people and she wasn't aware he had any problems with them.

The first victim was John Palmer, 54, who was shot August 19, 2016. His body was dragged off the Indian Creek Trail and was found in nearby woods.

The last victim, Steven Gibbons, 57, died August 13, 2017, after he got off a bus in south Kansas City. The woman, 64-year-old Karen Harmeyer, was found in her tent by friends.

Lenox was killed February 27, 2017, as he was returning home from walking his two dogs. His daughter, Mindy Lenox of San Francisco, told The Star that she and her family appreciated the efforts of investigators and prosecutors to provide a charge in her father's death.
