Man Charged in Kansas City Stabbing Death

0:00Prosecutors in Jackson County hit a 33-year-old independence man, with charges over the Sunday morning, stabbing death of Ronnie Medina, also. 33. Right in downtown Kansas City, cops found Medina bleeding out in the street from a stab wound, rushed him to the hospital, but he didn't make it. Witnesses told police the suspect, Clinton Kelly, was acting all erratic and goofy just before he clashed with Medina, leading straight to the fatal. Attack Kelly bolted south on Grand to 13th Street after the stabbing, but officers nabbed him quick. In his interview with detectives, he opened up about thinking Medina had pulled a gun on him a year earlier and was somehow talking directly into his, brain. That confession landed him charges of second-degree murder and armed criminal action, with prosecutors filing the case Monday. He's locked up at the Jackson County Detention Center on a $250,000 bond, as the community grapples with yet another street, tragedy unfolding in real time.
