KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Roeland Park man was arrested in Johnson County Tuesday in connection to the murder of a man in July.

Kerry Paul Malone, 55, is charged with premeditated first-degree murder in the death of David Stark.

The incident happened on July 18, 2024, though few details on what led to Stark's death were available.

Roeland Park police officers went to a house near West 49th and Briar streets to check on the welfare of a person at the house.

Stark was found dead at the house.

Malone is in the Johnson County Adult Detention Center.

A judge set his bond at $1 million.

Malone has a hearing on Sept. 12 in Johnson County Court.
