KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two men have been charged in connection to a Sunday night murder in the Northland.

Clay County prosecutors Monday charged both Jackson L. Frisbie, 17 and Jimmy L. Abron, 17, with second degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action and attempted robbery in the death of Richard Richardson, 21.

Kansas City, Mo. Police were called out around 9 p.m. to an area near 110th Street and N. Ditzler on a shooting.
