Police: Kansas City man fatally shoots wife, runs her over

/ CBS/AP

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City man has been charged with fatally shooting his estranged wife and running her over with a car.

Howard Tyrone Neely, 35, of Kansas City, was charged Thursday with second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the Dec. 16 killing of Joegina Davis. Bond is set at $250,000. No attorney is listed for him in online court records.

Court records say a witness told police he was driving on a south Kansas City road when he saw Davis in the street. The witness said Davis told him that Neely shot and ran her over. She died at a hospital. Relatives told police Neely had abused Davis in the past.

CBS affiliate KCTV reports that court records indicate a shell casing recovered from a Sept. 8 crime scene leads police to believe Neely might also be connected to a shooting in Kansas City, Kansas.
