Aftermath report as KC continues to outpace last year's numbers and local violence seems to be ramping up . . . Here's the latest from late last night . . .
Homicide 10th and Prospect
Tonight (9/17) just before 9:30pm officers were dispatched to 10th and Prospect on a sound of gunshots call.
The call was quickly updated to a shooting call as officers were arriving.
On arrival officers were directed to the East side of the intersection where they located an adult male shooting victim on the ground unresponsive.
Officers ordered EMS to the scene who declared the victim deceased.
Homicide detectives are at the scene now and are canvassing for witnesses and investigating further. Crime scene investigators are processing the scene for all available evidence.
Numerous callers reported hearing the sound of gunshots near the intersection of 10th and Prospect and looking out and seeing the victim down on the ground. Preliminary investigation indicates that one or more suspects fired shots that struck the victim at the location where the victim was located by officers. This occurred outside an apartment complex so detectives are hopeful that someone heard or saw something.
If anyone 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.
