Kansas City Gunfire Victim Dies After Rescue From Crashed Car

Earlier this evening police were called to a chaotic scene and worked to provide assistance. 

 Here is the report KCPD shares with local media tonight along with more TV news coverage afterward: 

Injury Accident - Updated Now Homicide Truman and Bennington

This afternoon right about 6:30pm officers were dispatched to Truman and Bennington on an injury accident. 

On arrival officers located a vehicle crashed into a pole there with significant damage. Officers and EMS located an adult male inside the vehicle with life threatening injuries. EMS transported him to the hospital for treatment of his injuries. During the course of administering medical treatment at the hospital medical personnel located what appeared to be gunshot injury to the male. 

Ultimately medical personnel at the hospital declared the victim deceased from his injuries. 

Officers notified Homicide detectives who have now begun a homicide investigation. Detectives are at the scene near the crash canvassing for witnesses and Crime Scene Investigators are processing the scene for evidence at this time. 

Detectives are hopeful to hear from or speak to someone who witnessed the crash or has any information about what led up to the crash. There is not anyone in custody at this time and no suspect information to share at this point.
 
If anyone was in this area and heard or saw anything or has any information, and has not yet talked to police, they are asked to contact Homicide detectives directly at 816-234-5043 or the TIPS Hotline anonymously at 816-474-TIPS.
