A man is charged with murder after a botched robbery.

Antonio Johnson, 19, of Kansas City, Missouri, was charged Friday in Jackson County Court with second-degree murder, attempted robbery and armed criminal action.

Johnson and two juveniles went to an Independence, Missouri, house early Wednesday to rob a resident of money and marijuana, according to court documents.

The court documents say the three drove to a house in the 500 block of South Crescent, where Johnson went to the front door. Johnson tried to talk the resident into allowing him into the house.

The resident refused and Johnson tried to force his way in.

Seconds later, Johnson pointed a gun at the resident and another man in the house, the court document states.

Police were called to the house on reports of the sound of gunshots.

Officers found an unresponsive man on the ground near the front steps, according to the document.

The officers moved the victim to a safe location and he was declared dead.

A Jackson County judge set Johnson's bond at $150,000, cash only.

An off-duty Pentagon police officer involved in the shooting death of two men was indicted on nine counts by a Montgomery County grand jury.

David Hall Dixon, 40, was indicted on seven counts including two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder and first-degree assault. Dixon was leaving for work in early April when charging documents said he observed individuals breaking into a car.

After he confronted them he began firing multiple shots into the vehicle as they were driving off. Two victims, Dominique Williams and James Lionel Johnson died of their injuries. The driver of the vehicle, Michael Thomas, survived, no charges will be filed against him.

“At the time that this matter took place he was in the state of Maryland, he was not a police officer, he was not acting under police authority, he was acting from the standpoint of the state – he was operating as a private citizen,” said John McCarthy, state’s attorney, Montgomery County.

Dixon was also indicted on two counts of assault for allegedly pointing a gun at a homeless woman inside of his apartment building’s lobby last May.

Them Capitol Hill Police shoot anything.

He was a Pentagon Police officer. Capitol Hill Police is a separate force. I noticed that DEMOCRATS don't want to cut the federal cops.
