Local homicides steadily increase despite this town's hope to politely ignore the problem.
As of late, Kansas City killing has stepped up once again. Yet because the murders are taking place among people of color or in areas that host primarily minority populations . . . There hasn't been widespread attention to these stories that is often garnered in other instances of violent crime. Sadly, this is just one of many trends that contribute to more KC murder.
