(MSC News)--Second degree murder.
That's the charge for the 23-year-old man accused of a fatal Sunday night shooting south of Saint Joseph.
KQ2-TV reports Buchanan County Prosecutor Dwight Scroggins Monday filed the charges against Justin Appleberry.
According to probable cause statements, Appleberry shot, and killed, 74-year-old Louis Nold, in the victim's home, on Southeast McQueen Road.
Court documents indicate Appleberry once lived with Nold.
Prosecutor's allege he forced his way inside, where he obtained the firearm that he used to shoot and kill Nold.
Arraignment for Appleberry is set for Friday.
