Prosecutors have now filed murder and armed robbery charges against a Western Michigan University basketball player in the killing of a fellow student last week.
Due for arraignment on Monday in a Kalamazoo County court, Joeviair Kennedy will stand for last Thursday's fatal shooting of 19-year-old Jacob Jones in an off-campus apartment. It is not known if Kennedy has retained counsel at this time.
It is alleged that Kennedy killed Jones during a robbery for a phone and cash. There were witnesses present at the time of the robbery that helped lead to Kennedy’s arrest and subsequent charges.
