Killa City: Scott A. Bilquist charged with voluntary manslaughter in the death of Tyrone L. Collins

A drug deal gone awry led to the death of Tyrone L. Collins Tuesday night, court records say.

Court documents allege that 21-year-old Scott A. Bilquist (also known as “Scuz”) shot and killed Collins, who assaulted and attempted to rob him.

Jackson County prosecutors charged Bilquist on Friday with voluntary manslaughter and armed criminal action.

The probable cause statement gives this story: Bilquist and another man drove to an address near 29th Street to buy drugs. Bilquist met a black man, and they walked into an apartment building as the driver waited in the car. After a few minutes, the driver heard gunshots and a bloody Bilquist ran to the car. Bilquist told the driver that the man had assaulted him and robbed him so Bilquist shot him.
