Man shot and killed while working in garage at his Kansas City, Kansas home
Kansas City, Kansas police were investigating a homicide Sunday after a man was fatally wounded in a shooting at his home.
The shooting was reported shortly after 10 a.m. at a house in the 7200 block of Lathrop Avenue, according to the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department.
Nancy Chartrand, a police spokeswoman, said two men had been at the home working in the driveway and inside the open garage when they were approached by a man dressed in dark clothes. The man shot at them and then fled in a vehicle.
Christopher Marcus Ingram, 43, who lived at the home, was shot multiple times in his midsection, Chartrand said. He was taken to a hospital, where he died from his injuries. The other man was not injured.
Police officers and detectives remained at the scene while the investigation continued. Red and yellow police tape crossed the driveway, which was crowded with vehicles. The garage doors sat open as investigators paced around the cars inside.
Cars lined the nearby streets as family members gathered in the yard of the home where the man was shot.
The man’s death is the 27th homicide of the year in the city. This time last year, 12 homicides had been reported.
Anyone with information about the homicide is asked to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (8477).
