KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two men were killed and three other people were hurt, including a juvenile, in a shooting where the victims were found at a downtown Kansas City parking lot at 13th and Grand on Sunday morning.
Kansas City police say the early investigation indicates an argument led to shots being fired just after 4 a.m. A release from KCPD doesn’t say how any of those who were shot were involved in that argument.
The juvenile victim is a male who is critically hurt. One other man has serious injuries and a woman has non-life threatening injuries. One of the men who was killed was declared dead at the scene while the other was declared dead at a hospital just after 6:40 a.m.
Investigators are downtown looking for witnesses and surveillance video. So far no suspect information has been released.
Jackson County Sheriff Darryl Forte shared pictures on Facebook that show a large taped off crime scene extending from 13th Street just north of the T-Mobile Center up Grand to 12th Street, and eastwards to McGee Street.
A College Basketball Experience employee told FOX4’s Carey Wickersham that its building was struck 31 times, with some of the bullets breaking through the glass.
