Arrest made in connection with KC homicide

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A 21-year-old Kansas City woman has been charged in connection with a fatal shooting that took place last week.

The Jackson County prosecutor's office said Sunday that Tityana Coppage has been charged with second- degree murder and armed criminal action in Wednesday's shooting death of 36-year-old Keith Lars.

The shooting happened shortly after noon Wednesday. Officers who arrived at the scene found evidence of a shooting but no victims.

A short time later, a woman flagged down firefighters to report that Lars was in her car with a gunshot wound. Firefighters tried to save Lars but he died at the scene.

According to court documents, Coppage told detectives that her family believes Lars may have been involved in the fatal shooting of her 16-year-old brother three days before Lars died.
