(AP) – A suburban Kansas City man is charged with
second-degree murder in with what police suspect was a road-rage shooting that
killed the other driver.

Jackson County prosecutors on Saturday also charged 45-year-old John C. Young
of Independence, Missouri, with unlawful use of a weapon and armed criminal
action.

Authorities say the May 25 confrontation killed 19-year-old Christopher Hutson
of Lee’s Summit. Hutson’s pregnant girlfriend was grazed by a bullet.
Police say the woman told them the couple was returning from a sonogram
appointment when they became disoriented in traffic. The woman says that’s when
a man in another vehicle began yelling at the victims.

Hutson was fatally shot in the head a short time later. Young was arrested
Friday.

Online court records don’t show whether Young has an attorney.
