Kansas City 2024 Homicide Hits #11 After Fat Tuesday Deadly Double Crime Scenes

Kansas City is quickly catching up to last year's historic pace as the number of local killings now reaches double digits. 

Unofficially, the count is 11 after deadly early evening gunfire. 

Last year the homicide count was 17 at this date on the calendar. However, an arctic blast early in the year froze a great deal of criminal activity. 

Tonight we share police reports and local TV news coverage as nice weather spikes local homicide once again . . .
