KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City, Missouri, man is charged to shoot and kill another man while checking out a vacant home in the city’s historic Northeast.
Myloe Doan, 21, is charged with second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon in the death of William C. Wright.
On June 2, police responded to an intersection near E. 9th Street and Van Brunt Boulevard on reports of a shooting.
Upon arrival, officers found Wright suffering from gunshot wounds. He died at the scene.
During the investigation, detectives spoke with a nearby homeowner who said his cameras captured the incident.
Investigators reviewed dashcam footage that showed a dark-colored Dodge Durango pull up in front of a home in the area, according to court documents.
A man, later identified as Doan, was seen exiting the vehicle and walking toward the front of the home taking pictures with his phone.
Doan walks out of the camera’s view for a few moments but is later seen chasing Wright.
Detectives later obtained a search warrant for Wright’s belongings. They found two BB guns near stairs in the back of the home.
They also spoke with a neighbor who said the owners had moved out of the home Doan was checking on. They also said Doan often checked on the home and drove a Dodge Durango.
According to the neighbor, Doan previously had several confrontations with homeless people squatting inside the home.
Detectives linked the Dodge Durango to Doan and also used his cell phone records to place him in the area at the time of the murder, according to court documents.
Doan was later arrested at a home in Raytown.
