Online database details fatal Kansas City police shootings

Kansas City police have killed 47 people since 2005 and The Kansas City Star has compiled the details in an interactive, online graphic.

It is part of a project on fatal police shootings published in print on Sunday.

The graphic allows the user to search the database for race, gender and other factors.

Here’s an example:

Fritz M. LeAndre, a 19-year-old black man, was shot on Mar. 26, 2009 at 31st and Charlotte streets.

Scene: LeAndre ran a red light while speeding and almost struck a police car. He crashed into a utility pole near 31st and Charlotte streets. Police said when officers approached, LeAndre emerged with a gun in his hand. Two officers fired, killing him. The 9 mm gun was empty, but it matched shell casings at a homicide that occurred minutes before about six blocks away. The officers were white men with two years and 11 months on the force and four years and nine months.

Aftermath: A Jackson County grand jury cleared police.
