Kansas City Homicide Count Hits #130 After South Benton Deadly Double Shooting

Context and a look at where we stand before the weekend . . .

THE KANSAS CITY HOMICIDE PACE IS NOW 11% HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR AFTER EARLY MORNING DOUBLE MURDER!!!

Just for context . . . Mayor Q and most of the council stopped talking about rising violence earlier this year and don't seem to be making any "movement" on the issue as election approach. 

To be fair . . .

Legal fights against Missouri and the police board are sufficing for community concern about all of the locals killed.

Here's the latest report . . .

Homicide 6700 block of South Benton

This morning just after 2 AM officers were dispatched to the 6700 block of South Benton in regard to a party armed. Upon arrival they found an adult female and an adult male outside of a residence. Both had been shot and were unresponsive. EMS responded and pronounced both victims deceased. We do not have any suspect information at this time
