The KCMO murder count continues to trend upward. Here's a report on the latest victims:
Police are investigating an accident at Blue Parkway and 55th Street . . . When officers arrived, they found a man and woman shot to death inside a car lying in a ditch. Officials also found a third shooting victim a couple blocks away and they were taken to the hospital in stable condition.
Investigators are still trying to determine what let up to the shooting. Police have not yet identified either of the adult victims.
This double murder brings the homicide count to 27 to start the 2nd quarter of the year compared to 19 at this time last year -- More than a 40% increase so far for 2017.

I'm glad that the GO bonds are going to prevent so much crime!
ReplyDeleteBetter sidewalks 20 years from now could have prevented this shooting.
Delete55th and Blue Parkway is not Southland
DeleteIt's South of me. I guess it depends where you're coming from.
DeleteAt this rate it looks like 120 is almost a given. But I guess all of the TIF money for development is going to fix that. Right?

ReplyDeleteIsn't Jolie Justus in charge of the mayors crime commission? She's doing such a great job, let's put her in charge of the airport!
ReplyDeleteGetting violent again, again who's doing the killing, how many of the 27 murder suspects are Blanco? I heard gun shots 50 feet from my bedroom window last nite assholes shoot and don't care who gets hit,,a gun violence problem every nite n day but 2 Indians get shot by a wit's an international outrage
ReplyDeleteShot by a white guy it's an ongoing international Trump crisis, 30 blacks get shot nobody cares
DeleteYou really think Jolie Justus gives a fat rats ass?
ReplyDeleteIs nobody talking about the promises that KCPD made after building new police stations, getting new cruisers and tools to do their job? Renewing the public safety sales tax in 2010 was all but guaranteed to cause KCPD to clear their backlog of rape kits, deter crime and lower the crime rate. Why isn't anybody talking about this??? Is it just that taxpayers get so much smoke blown up their ass that they don't expect to get what they paid for??? I want to know!
