Cox had been shot in the chest and his pockets were turned out when KCPD officers arrived, responding to a ShotSpotter sound of shots call and reported shooting in the 4100 block of Troost Avenue.

Heron-Boone has been charged with second-degree murder, first-degree robbery and two counts of armed criminal action. A $200,000 bond has been requested by the prosecuting attorney’s office.
