A North Carolina man has been charged with murder after allegedly shooting and killing a Kansas City man during a game of dominoes earlier this month.
Malik Johnson, 25, was charged Tuesday with second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the death of 27-year-old Marcus Oldham, according to Jackson County court records.
Johnson allegedly shot Oldham the evening of Nov. 9 in a home near Spring Valley Park, according to Kansas City police. Officers responded to the 2700 block of Garfield Avenue, where they discovered Oldham sitting at the dining room table with a head wound, according to court documents. Johnson was found standing outside.
Fire department personnel entered the house next and pronounced Oldham dead, according to court records.
Johnson, who is based in North Carolina, had been staying in a hotel in Lenexa but had relocated to the home the night before the shooting, according to court documents. Just before the shooting, Oldham had been engaged in a game of dominoes at the dining room table, court documents read, while Johnson looked on from a window seat directly behind him.
