Aftermath: Kansas City Suffered Deadly Independence Day 2024

The 24-36 hours surrounding July 4th proved EXCEPTIONALLY DEADLY for Kansas City proper. 

A quick recap . . .

A 79-year-old woman died of gunfire injuries on the night before the 4th. 

A woman was killed in the QT parking lot on Southwest Blvd in the early morning hours. 

A man was gunned down on the sidewalk near The Paseo on July 4th afternoon.

There are many common threads here but this is what stands out to our www.TonysKansasCity.com blog community . . . 

IN LESS THAN 48 HOURS KANSAS CITY'S HOMICIDE COUNT SPIKED BY THREE SOULS!!!

More than anything this aftermath report should signal that the fight against record-breaking homicide numbers last year STILL requires a great deal of effort and attention. 

The problem is far from solved.  

Summer is just getting started.
