Police ID Independence shooting victim; search for person of interest goes on
Police recovered an apparent escape car but were still searching Monday for a man who is a person of interest in a double-shooting that killed an Independence man Saturday.
The man who died was 29-year-old Brandan Ray Brown. Another person was wounded when someone fired shots in a trailer park in the 12800 block of East 47th Street about 2 p.m. Saturday.
Police are searching for Jerome T. Roberson, described as a 31-year-old black male, 5-foot-9, about 160 pounds, from Kansas City.
Witnesses saw a man flee the scene in a red 1995 Camaro that police had also sought help in finding. The car has been located, police said Monday, but it was unoccupied.
