OLATHE — A Kansas City rapper and record company president is guilty in the killing of an aspiring rapper from Kansas.
A Johnson County District Court jury on Thursday found 33-year-old Dale “Poppa Willo” Wills guilty of first-degree murder in the September 2015 death of 24-year-old Jurl Carter of Olathe.
Prosecutors say Willis, president of Duced Out Records, ordered his brother, James Willis, to shoot Carter after a confrontation outside an Overland Park bar. James Willis is awaiting trial on a murder charge.
