KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A 19-year-old Kansas City man is facing charges in connection to the deadly February shooting of Davonte Robinson.
Jackson County prosecutors on Thursday charged Terrance J. Robinson with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon and two counts of armed criminal action.
According to court documents, just after 5 p.m. on February 22, 2022, Kansas City officers responded to a person armed with a weapon that was later updated to a shooting call at a house near East 101st Street and Fremont Avenue.
