OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — The trial is underway for a man charged with killing a rapper from suburban Olathe.

The Kansas City Star reports that 33-year-old Dale “Poppa Willo” Willis is on trial this week in Johnson County District Court. He’s charged with first-degree murder in the September shooting death of Jurl Carter outside a bar in northern Overland Park. Carter performed as Yunglyfe Carter or Bo Boogy.

Witnesses testified at an earlier hearing that they saw Willis punch Carter in the face after Carter nearly hit someone while pulling into a parking space. Prosecutors said that Willis’ brother, James Willis, then shot Carter as he attempted to drive away.

James Willis also is charged with first-degree murder and will be tried separately.
