KANSAS CITY (AP) — A Kansas City man was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder after he allegedly stabbed another man at a park and then intentionally ran over the victim.
Corey Darden was also charged with first-degree robbery and two counts of armed criminal action in the death of Felipe Carillo, 41, of Kansas City, on Monday at Blue Valley Park.
