A second man has confessed to his role in an August drive-by shooting in St. Joseph that killed a two-year-old girl.
Twenty-one-year-old Marcain Kimbrough-Ballard of St. Joseph pleaded guilty to second degree murder this (THU) morning during a court appearance at the Buchanan County Courthouse before Judge Daniel Kellogg.
Kimbrough-Ballard admitted he fired shots into another car, stating he didn’t know Raelynn Craig was a passenger.
Earlier, 21-year-old Caimon Ramone Stillman of St. Joseph, pleaded guilty for his role in the deadly shooting.
Both men fired shots into another car near the Frog Hop at 20th and Messanie August 9th. The shots hit and wounded two adults in the car, but also hit and killed Raelynn in a car seat in the back.
A third man involved in the shooting, 20-year-old Te’Avion Hawkins of Platte City, is scheduled to appear in court later this month.
A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for Kimbrough-Ballard for March 15th.
Stillman is scheduled to be sentenced April 23rd.
