Police are searching for a suspect after a woman was found dead in a parked car Tuesday night in a Kansas City neighborhood.

Officers were called to a home in the 2500 block of Lister Avenue about 6 p.m. after reports of a shooting. They found the woman dead in a car parked in the driveway.

Witnesses told police that the suspect was inside a residence. Negotiators tried to make contact with the suspect, but around midnight officers entered the home and found it to be vacant.

Anyone with information in the case is urged to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (816-474-8477).
