Killa City: Louis Sayles charged with murder in the death of Euril McCoy

A drug deal gone wrong led to the death of Euril B. McCoy, court records say.

Court records say 17-year-old Louis R. Sayles, a juvenile known as “Boo,” and someone named “Cell” went to buy a “stick” of PCP from McCoy on Olive Street between 37th and 38th streets on August 10.

Later, “Boo” told police that the three attempted to rob McCoy, who “became hostile.” When McCoy refused to “give up his stuff,” “Boo” allegedly whipped out a revolver and pointed it at McCoy, who slapped the weapon. Then, “Boo” allegedly shot  McCoy in the head.

“I’m sorry,” Boo told his mother. “I didn’t mean to do it. It was an accident.”

Jackson County prosecutors charged Sayles with second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the death of McCoy.

On Sayles’ Facebook page, he writes: “im a coo ass nigga dont like to b around no body layed back but wiil fuck somthin up if a nigga talk side ways.” Sayles’ photos show the tribute T-shirts that are all too familiar around Kansas City, blowing smoke and throwing up hand signs.
