Kansas City 2023 Homicide #177: Gunfire Kills Woman Dropped Off At Fire Station

Tonight we share a glimpse at chaos on local streets and the THIRD LOCAL KILLING THIS WEEKEND. 

Tragically . . .

KANSAS CITY WILL LIKELY BREAK AN ALL-TIME RECORD FOR ANNUAL HOMICIDES THIS WEEK!!!

Even worse than the stats: 

There hasn't been much community level cooperation on any viable plan to reduce this tragic number that contradicts falling crime stats across the nation. Objectively, we've mostly seen cherry picking crime numbers in a desperate attempt to highlight good news, politically charged power moves to award more cash to allies and/or silence from so many progressives content to ignore the carnage at all costs.

There's a lot more to note on this topic but, sadly, we've heard a lot of it before given this ongoing and deadly Kansas City trend.

And so . . . For tonight . . . 

Here's the first report . . .

Homicide 3500 block of Roberts

On 12/17/23 around 7:45PM officers were dispatched to the 3500 block of Roberts on a sound of shots call.
