A young man was shot to death Wednesday night inside a home in Kansas City, Kansas, and a homicide investigation is underway, according to police.

Arriving officers found the man shot inside the home. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim’s name has not been released.
Police were still investigating what led up to the killing late Wednesday.
At least a dozen shell casings were found in the street, said Officer Jonathon Westbrook, a spokesman for the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department.
“Investigators are checking the area for houses that may have cameras on them,” Westbrook said. “It was a beautiful day. I’m sure there was more than one person outside on their front porch who may have saw something so hopefully our investigators can get that information.”
The killing was being investigated as the 14th homicide reported in Kansas City, Kansas, this year, according to data kept by The Star.
