KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A Kansas City, Missouri, man is accused of a shooting death that authorities say was captured by surveillance video.

Jackson County prosecutors charged 53-year-old Thomas Midgette Jr. with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in connection with the Jan. 21 death of Raymond Jones.

Court documents allege that a friend of Jones told police that after Jones punched Midgette during a dispute, Midgette followed Jones and shot him after the victim fell to the ground. Authorities say that incident was recorded by the area’s surveillance cameras.
