Kansas City man charged with murder in July shooting death

Posted

A Kansas City man faces murder charges in the shooting death of Javon Looney.

Justin G. Harrison, 27, is charged with first-degree murder, first-degree assault and two counts of armed criminal action.

He's accused of killing Looney and injuring another victim on July 14 at a home in the 5700 block of E. 39th St.

Witnesses that night said a man got out of a green Firebird with a handgun, walked up to the victims, started arguing with them and shot them several times. He then started to drive away in the vehicle, but stopped to fire more shots.

A witness identified Harrison as the shooter.

Both victims were transported to area hospitals, where Looney died from his injuries.

Prosecutors said they've requested a bond of $750,000.
