Police find one man shot to death, 3 others injured in east KC neighborhood
Update: Police identified the victim as 40-year-old Antonio Jackson.
One man died and three are left injured after a shooting in a residential neighborhood in east Kansas City Saturday, police said.
Officers responded just after 2 a.m. to calls about a shooting near East 24th Street and Lister Avenue. They found a man in a parking lot at the corner of the intersection unresponsive with gunshot wounds, said Capt. Jake Becchina, a police spokesperson.
Officers gave medical aid to the man while paramedics were en route. Paramedics took over the man’s treatment and transported him to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
The killing is Kansas City’s 82nd homicide this year, according to data tracked by The Star, which includes fatal police shootings. At this time last year, the city had recorded 75 homicides.
While they were on scene, officers were notified of three other men who were injured in the shooting, Becchina said.
One man arrived to a hospital in a private vehicle, while another went to a nearby residence before paramedics took him to a hospital. The third injured man was found at 19th and Oak and was taken to a hospital by paramedics.
The three injured men were recovering from their injuries at a hospital Saturday, Becchina said.
Homicide unit detectives were at the scene Saturday looking for witnesses to get a better idea of what led up to the shooting, Becchina said. Crime scene investigators were processing the scene for evidence.
