In the latest local killing, Kansas City police are hoping that witnesses come forward to help solve a homicide case that pushes this town closer to another record-breaking year for local murder.
Here's the first report and more info to follow . . .
Homicide 24th and Lawn
Tonight just after 11pm officers were dispatched to the area of 24th and Lawn on a sound of shots call.
On arrival officers were directed to the area of a house on 24th street just east of the intersection.
At that residence officers located an adult male shooting victim, unresponsive, behind the house.
Officers summoned EMS to the scene, they transported the victim to the hospital where he was declared deceased.
People at the scene when officers arrived told them that the victim had an interaction with an unknown suspect, in front of the residence that led to shots being fired that struck the victim.
Detectives are canvassing for witnesses as this time. It is believed that multiple people may have seen or heard some aspect of the events that led up to the shooting. Detectives need witnesses help to determine what took place. Crime Scene Investigators are processing the scene for evidence as well.
If anyone has any information, or witnessed the shooting, they are asked to contact Homicide detectives directly at 816-234-5043 or the TIPS Hotline anonymously at 816-474-TIPS. There is a reward of up to $25,000 for information submitted anonymously to the TIPS hotline.
