Police officers were called to investigate a shooting about 9:30 p.m. at East 24th Street and Chelsea Avenue. Officers found the victim, who died at the scene.
On Monday, police identified the victim as Manuel Rodriguez-Garcia.
A couple of witnesses told police the victim had been seen walking down the street and acting erratically. The man approached a vehicle, they said, appeared to be talking to someone for a brief time and was shot, according to Capt. David Jackson, a Kansas City Police Department spokesman.
The vehicle was not at the scene by the time officers arrived. It was described as a white vehicle, Jackson said.
Detectives and crime scene technicians continued to investigate and process the scene late Saturday night.
Police were looking to review any surveillance video that may have captured the shooting.
No arrests have been announced, and police did not have any information on a suspect.
