Again, the "progress" against the local homicide count is quickly fading . . . Last week local leaders were touting the 25% reduction in local killing.
At this date on the calendar in 2023 the homicide total was #60 . . . Here's a glimpse at the latest killing that puts us halfway to the century mark well ahead of the year's halfway point . . .
Homicide 11800 blk of Blue Ridge
Yesterday evening at 10:41 PM officers were dispatched to the 11800 block of Blue Ridge on a reported shooting.
Upon arrival officers located an adult male victim suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Officers performed life saving measures and summoned EMS to the scene. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
An interaction occurred between the victim and suspect that led to the victim to being shot.
This is being investigated as a homicide. Detectives and crime scene investigators are obtaining witness statements and gathering evidence to determine what led up to the incident.
If anyone has any information 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.
