     (AP) – Prosecutors say a teenager fatally shot one man and

wounded another during a Kansas City drug deal.

     The Kansas City Star reports that 17-year-old Jewell Jones Jr., of Kansas

City, was charged Wednesday with second-degree murder in the death of Warren

Banks. Jones also faces one count each of first-degree robbery and first-degree

assault and three counts of armed criminal action. No attorney is listed for

Jones in online court records.

     Court records say Jones agreed to purchase marijuana from Banks last week. The

victim who survived the shooting told police that gunfire erupted after Jones

got into a vehicle with him and Banks and announced a robbery.

     Court records say Jones fled and later told a witness he had shot at two men

in a vehicle.
