After Towman Fatally Shot, Man Charged with Murder

A Kansas City man has been charged in the fatal shooting of a tow truck driver. Josue Ceniceros-Angel faces charges of second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon in Jackson County.

Police say the shooting occurred just after noon on April 12 where officers found a black Ford F-250 tow truck partially on a curb, its driver suffering from a gunshot wound to the torso. The victim, identified as 51-year-old Marcus Gammage, was transported to a hospital, where he later died.

Witnesses reported seeing a black Mercedes arrive at the scene, with three men approaching the tow truck before a tense encounter. Two fled in the vehicle, while another left on foot.

Investigators believe Gammage was attempting to tow a vehicle linked to Ceniceros-Angel. Police later found shell casings at his residence. He initially denied firing a weapon but was taken into custody on April 16. A warrant was issued with a $100,000 cash-only bond. No court date has been set. Source: https://www.kansascity.com/
