KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City, Missouri, man stands accused of shooting two people to death April 1 inside a moving car.
The Jackson County Prosecuting Attorney's Office charged Michael L. Gilmore, 23, on Friday with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action.
KCPD officers responded to a reported shooting about 1:40 p.m. on April 1 near East 67th Street and Walrond Avenue.
Police found the car's driver, Mia Sheridan, 22, and a passenger, Joshua Gilmore-Harris, 22, dead from gunshot wounds.
Sheridan and Gilmore-Harris were in a relationship and shared two children, a court document states.
Gilmore was located and arrested a week later. He admitted he had known Gilmore-Harris for about 10 years, but denied being with the victims the day of the murder, according to a court document.
A woman later gave a voluntary statement to detectives about what Gilmore told her about the murders.
She said Gilmore told her he was in the back seat of the car when Gilmore-Harris accused Gilmore of stealing from him, according to court records.
Gilmore claimed Gilmore-Harris pointed a gun at him and he wrestled the gun from Gilmore-Harris.
Gilmore allegedly then told the woman he shot Gilmore-Harris and Sheridan, according to a court document.
