(MSC News)--A St. Joseph man has been charged in death of another St. Joseph man injured in a carjacking.
KQ2-TV reports Buchanan County Prosecuting Attorney Dwight Scroggins charged 27-year-old Paul Belding Wednesday with second-degree murder in the death last week of 77-year-old Richard Gray.
According to court documents, Belding escaped from the Community Supervision Center in St. Joseph on June 13th before stealing the vehicle. He allegedly stole a van belonging to Gray from the parking lot of a convenience store following a struggle between the two men. The documents say Gray was thrown from the van and dragged during the theft.
He died this past weekend at Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph from serious head injuries.
Belding is scheduled to be arraigned in a Buchanan County courtroom Friday morning. He’s held on a $150,000 cash-only bond.
