Saturday Kansas City Gunfire Spikes 2025 Homicide Count To #54

Once again the quotient of local killing continues to escalate as tough talk regarding crime from politicos is almost immediately answered by a spate of gunfire from neighborhood streets.

Accordingly . . . 

On Saturday Kansas City, Missouri recorded two more homicides as temperatures spiked and shooting erupted throughout the evening.

We'll start with the afternoon report and then move forward from there . . .

Homicide 8400 blk of E 63rd

This afternoon, just after 2:00 PM, officers were dispatched to the 8400 block of East 63rd street on a reported shooting.

As officers arrived they were directed to the parking lot of a convenience store. There they located an adult male victim suffering from gun shot wounds. Officers immediately began performing life saving measures and ordered EMS to the scene. Medics transported the victim to a local hospital where he died a short time later.

This is being investigated as a homicide. There is no one in custody at this point. Preliminary investigation revealed there was an altercation in the parking lot that led to shots being fired and the victim being struck. Detectives are interviewing witnesses in the area and reviewing surveillance footage. Crime scene personnel are processing the scene for all available physical evidence.
