INDEPENDENCE, Mon. (AP) – Authorities say a second man was charged with second degree murder when he shot another man in a suburban Kansas City motel. Prosecutors charged 29-year-old Tyler Russell of Lee’s Summit of the robbery and armed crime in the death of Tomas Galvan. Another man, 26-year-old Independence’s Steven Decker, was charged with similar charges earlier this week. Police found Galvan with a gunshot wound to the head at the Executive Inn and Suites in Independence early Monday. Court documents say Galvan was shot dead while getting into an argument with Decker and Russell, whom he called to drive him home. Investigators say the two men took Galvan’s shoes and cell phone before leaving.
