One man died in a shooting in an unincorporated part of Platte County, Missouri Thursday, and one man was taken into custody, the sheriff’s office said.
Platte County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded around 10:45 p.m. to a domestic disturbance at a residence near the 8700 block of Northwest Hillview Road Circle.
Deputies found a 36-year-old man with gunshot wounds dead inside the residence, according to Capt. Jeffrey Shanks, a sheriff’s office spokesman.
Other occupants who were inside the residence at the time appeared to be unharmed, Shanks said in a news release.
Police have not yet publicly identified the man who died.
