Donald Jones told police that he "threw a knife" at his friend Ronald Oliver during an argument while the two watched game one of the NBA Finals (the Miami Heat beat the Dallas Mavericks) on Tuesday.
Police found Jones kneeling next to Oliver and holding a towel to Oliver's chest. But Oliver, 40, was already dead. On Wednesday, Jackson County prosecutors charged Jones, 41, with voluntary manslaughter and armed criminal action.
Jones and Oliver were watching the game at a home in the 3300 block of East 30th Street.
They began to argue, and one of them went to the kitchen to get the knife "because it was relevant to the argument." Jones didn't recall stabbing Oliver but did say he'd thrown the knife at his friend. He said he'd pulled the knife out of Oliver's chest and tried to put pressure on the wound.
Oliver is Kansas City, Missouri's 38th homicide of 2011.

This is retarded, I'd count this as INVOLUNTARY manslaughter. Have you ever got mad and threw something or did something stupid before? Yh, same thing except he was REALLY unlucky. Don't you ever stp to consider that you only think he is guilty, because that is how it was reported? Dumbasses!!
My uncle would never kill anyone. This was purely an accident. The comments that you make about the mug shot and the way the media has put the story out, is unwarranted. Of all the killings and murders that happen in this shitty city, he is innocent and our family would appreciate if you keep your comments to your selves. Thank you.
