Deadly Kansas City Double Shooting Leaves Victim Dead & Sparks Standoff

A tense scene overnight that has recently concluded as the investigation continues . . . Here's more info shared by police and additional reporting . . . 

Homicide 76th and Lydia  

Just after 10:00 PM, officers were dispatched to the 1300 block of E 76th street on a sound of shots call. 

As officers arrived they located two adult male victims inside a vehicle at the intersection of 76th and Lydia. One male was suffering from gunshot wounds and officers immediately began performing life saving measures while ordering EMS. He was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased a short time later. The other male victim sustained non life threatening gun shot wounds.  

During the course of the initial investigation officers located a possible subject of interest in a nearby residence. Officers surrounded the house and an Operation 100, a police stand off, was initiated. Trained negotiators and tactical officers were called in to the scene to bring the situation to a peaceful resolution. 

This is being investigated as a homicide, and no one is in custody at this point. Detectives are still working to determine what led to shots being fired and the victims being struck. The Operation 100 remains active and ongoing. 

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.
