Kansas City Moves At Record Breaking Homicide Pace Ahead Of Primary

We want to follow-up on a morning murder because it's important. 

The main takeaway . . .

AHEAD OF THE UPCOMING MAYORAL & COUNCIL PRIMARY: KANSAS CITY'S RATE OF KILLING IS HIGHER THAN AT ANY OTHER TIME IN LOCAL HISTORY!!!

The latest update is from yesterday but it's still worth checking the basics of stats reported by police: 

Again . . .

The killing today adds one more to that list. 

Moreover . . .

Notice that we're now ahead of 2020's pace . . . Basically . . . 

KANSAS CITY HOMICIDES HAVE SPIKES 10% OVER RECORD BREAKING NUMBERS SO FAR IN 2023!!!

 And again . . .

We watch the news as much as anyone . . . And as of today there is no plan to fix this situation and no council candidate has made the issue the focus of their campaign. 

Nevertheless . . . We roundup deets from the latest local homicide . . .
