KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Jackson County Prosecutor's office charged an Independence man in connection with the fatal shooting of a woman found along a Raytown roadway Monday night.

35-year-old Aaron C. Alexander is charged with second degree murder and armed criminal action.

According to court documents, two persons driving along Raytown Road at East 87th Street reported a woman on the ground along the road with blood coming from her head on Monday night.

After Raytown Police responded, she was taken to the hospital where she died.

Shortly after, court documents indicate a witness told Raytown Police that the suspect had called him between 8:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. Monday to tell him he had an altercation with a woman and shot her.

Soon after, the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office said Alexander surrendered to Independence Police officers.

Prosecutors requested a $300,000 bond.

The woman's name has not been released.
