KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A Kansas City man has been charged with fatally shooting another man after showing up at a drug deal with his 2-year-old.

A warrant was issued Tuesday for 21-year-old Malik Chapple, who’s charged with second-degree murder, robbery, child endangerment and two counts of armed criminal action in the death of 25-year-old Travis Mills. Prosecutors requested that bond be set at $100,000.

Court records say Mills had bought $750 of marijuana in Colorado and decided to sell it to Chapple on Monday in an apartment parking lot in southern Kansas City.
