OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas City man is accused of killing a musician outside of an Overland Park bar.

The Kansas City Star reports  that 34-year-old Dale Maurice Willis is charged with first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Jurl L. Carter.

Carter was shot to death Sept. 16 outside of Roxy, a bar in north Overland Park.

Bar owner Jim Kilroy says the shooting broke out after a group of men began fighting outside. He says Carter entered a car and started to back away when some men ran after him.

Carter was a rapper from Olathe who performed under the names Boogy and Yunglyfe Carter.

Willis is being held in jail under a $15 million bond. It wasn’t immediately known if he has an attorney to speak on his behalf.
