Aftermath report on another deadly ruckus as KCMO endures three homicides in the second week of January. 

Here's the info that police share with local media . . .  

Homicide 6600 block of Monroe  

This afternoon just before 2:45 PM officers were dispatched to the 6600 block of Monroe Avenue on a reported shooting call for service. While officers were responding to the scene, several additional calls for a sound of shots were reported.

Upon arrival, there was a group of people summoning responding officers to the rear of an apartment complex building. An unidentified male victim, believed to be an adult, was located lying in a parking lot, unresponsive and suffering from believed gunshot trauma. EMS responded shortly behind officers and declared the victim deceased on scene.

Preliminary information indicates there was an interaction that took place between the victim and several unknown males. That interaction escalated into gunfire and resulted in the victim being struck. The unidentified males left the scene in an unknown direction occupying an unidentified vehicle. We do not have any subjects of interest identified and no one is in police custody at this time.

Homicide detectives and crime scene personnel have responded to the scene to begin collecting witness statements and gathering any evidence. This incident is being investigated as a homicide and is ongoing at this time. 

If anyone was in the area 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.
