Man checking KCMO house frequented by squatters accused in fatal shooting

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A man from Kansas City, Missouri, is charged to shoot and kill another man while checking out a vacant house in the city’s historic Northeast.

Myloe Doan, 21, is charged with second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon in the death of William C. Wright.

On June 2, police responded to an intersection near E. 9th Street and Van Brunt Boulevard on reports of a shooting.

Upon arrival, officers found Wright suffering from gunshot wounds. He died on the spot.

During the investigation, detectives spoke with a nearby homeowner who said his cameras captured the incident.

Investigators reviewed dashcam footage that showed a dark Dodge Durango pulling up in front of a home in the area, according to court documents.

A man, later identified as Doan, was seen getting out of the vehicle and walking to the front of the house and taking pictures with his phone.

Doan goes out of the camera’s view for a few moments, but is later seen stalking Wright.

Detectives later obtained a search warrant for Wright’s belongings. They found two BB guns near the back steps of the house.

They also spoke with a neighbor who said the owners had moved out of the house Doan was checking out. They also said Doan frequently checked in on the home and drove a Dodge Durango.

According to the neighbor, Doan previously had multiple run-ins with homeless people squatting inside the home.

Detectives linked Doan’s Dodge Durango and also used cell phone records to place him in the area at the time of the crime, according to court documents.

Doan was later arrested at a home in Raytown.
