Man accused of shooting and killing victim during domino game at KCMO home

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A man is accused of shooting and killing another man during a game of dominoes inside a home in Kansas City, Missouri, according to court documents.

Malik Johnson, of North Carolina, is charged in Jackson County District Court with second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the shooting death of 27-year-old Marcus Oldham.

The crime happened Saturday night in the 2700 block of Garfield Avenue.

Police went to the home just after 6 p.m. on reports of a shooting.

They found Oldham unresponsive at a table, suffering from gunshot wounds.

Detectives interviewed a witness who said Johnson was sitting on a ledge near the table while Oldham played dominoes.

The witness said Oldham shouted “dominoes” to indicate he had won the game.

Moments later, the witness heard two shots and allegedly saw Johnson pointing a revolver at Oldham.

The witness said he ran and called the police.

A second witness told detectives Johnson drove to Kansas City from North Carolina on the day of the murder.

They also said there was no argument or other problems between Oldham and Johnson.

The second witness said that in a previous conversation with Johnson, he asked if the witness thought he was crazy because his grandmother and mother had called Johnson crazy.

An associate of Johnson’s in North Carolina was later contacted by detectives.

She told them that in recent months, Johnson said he had been hearing voices and had become more paranoid.

He told the woman that he was being followed and that people were trying to catch him.
