Kansas City Double Shooting Kills Two Amid Crash Scene

Tonight we roundup the latest local spate of fatal gunfire on Kansas City streets. 

This latest round of shooting brings this year's homicide count to 58 so far which is roughly a 13% increase year-to-date. 

Here's a note from the scene along with more reporting . . .

Homicide 92 Ter. And James A Reed Rd

Tonight at about 7:20pm officers were initially called to 92nd and James A Reed Rd on an injury accident.

While officers were still on the way the call was updated to a shooting call with a victim at 92nd street.

Initial responding officers located an adult male shooting victim outside of a vehicle just north of 92nd street

Additional responding officers were notified of an additional vehicle that had crashed at 93rd and James A. Reed Rd.  Additional officers responded to that location and found a vehicle that had crashed there with one adult male shooting victim inside there.

EMS responded to both locations and declared both victims deceased at the scene.

Homicide detectives are at the scene investigating. They are conducting area canvasses and looking for any potential witnesses to determine the sequence of events that led to the shooting. Additionally crime scene investigators are processing the scene for evidence to hopefully give detectives a better idea of what led up to the shooting.

If anyone was in this area around that time and heard or saw anything or 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.

We are committed to assisting victims of violent crimes through use of Missouri’s Protection Program for Victims/Witnesses of Violent Crime. Funding for temporary, or even permanent relocation, may be available but is subject to pre-approval by the State’s administering agency.

We are working with Partners for Peace in all our homicide investigations to monitor risks for retaliation and provide social services to affected residents.
