Cass County prosecutors have charged a Cleveland, Mo., man with second-degree murder after a street altercation left one man dead and another hospitalized with serious injuries.
Jamie L.C. Murray, 28, is being held in the Cass County jail in Harrisonville. Bond is set at $150,000.
Jeffrey E. Denton, 44, of Cleveland, was pronounced dead at a hospital. Terry J. McIntire, 33, also of Cleveland, was the injured victim.
The incident took place about 11:30 p.m. Saturday, according to authorities who responded to an assault call and found two men on the street with serious injuries.
Investigators think Denton was part of a group of people who were walking along the street when they became involved in an altercation with Murray, who was driving a car with McIntire as a passenger.
The investigation is continuing.
