A Missouri man has been arrested and charged in connection with a Jan. 10 road-rage shooting that left a former sports reporter dead.

According to Platte County records, Ruslan Huseynov, aged 34, faces charges including second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action, and unlawful weapon usage in relation to the death of Dennis Sharkey Jr.

On January 10th, at around 7 p.m., the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department answered a 911 call from a man and his girlfriend. They reported following Huseynov’s and Sharkey’s cars while driving southbound in the right lane on I-29.

The probable cause statement filed in Platte County indicates that Huseynov’s car was leading, with Sharkey’s following closely behind, and the witnesses trailing Sharkey’s vehicle.

The witnesses described seeing the suspect and victim’s vehicles come to a stop in front of them, forcing them to stop on the interstate, as well, the probable cause statement says.

An obituary for the 50-year-old victim states that he “worked for a variety of news publications in the Missouri and Kansas regions.”

“During his journalistic career he created the Northland Buzz with his friend Cody Snapp and covered sports for the North Kansas City School District from 2022-2024. Most recently, Dennis served as the reporter and photographer for all sports for the Platte County Citizen,” the obituary says. 

Sharkey’s “most recent job was at SAS Merchandising as a representative for Tyson’s Foods.” 

“Dennis loved sports, particularly the Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals and the Northwest Missouri State Bearcats. Dennis was very passionate about his relationship with his maternal grandmother Edna, and loved gardening,” the obituary says.

Huseynov is being held in the Platte County Detention Center without bond. He did not have a defense attorney listed in public records databases at the time of publication.
