KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A teenager is charged with second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of a man during a marijuana deal that was allegedly arranged over Snapchat.
The Jackson County prosecutor's office on Tuesday announced charges against 19-year-old Jordan L. White of Kansas City. In addition to murder, he is charged with attempted first-degree robbery and two counts of armed criminal action.
The shooting in September killed 20-year-old Robiell Avilla. Police were called about shots fired and found two people with gunshot wounds. The other injured person survived.
A third person told officers that they had gone to an apartment complex to buy marijuana. The deal was orchestrated on Snapchat.
The uninjured victim told police that when they arrived a man got into the vehicle's back seat and robbed him at gunpoint, and a second suspect fired into the vehicle, striking the driver and a front seat passenger.
Prosecutors say photos posted on social media helped lead to White's arrest.
It wasn't immediately clear if White had an attorney.
