Homicide Truman and Ewing

This afternoon, just after 1 PM, officers were dispatched to the area of Truman and Ewing on a reported shooting. 

Upon arrival, they observed a vehicle which had two victims inside. Both victims had been shot. One victim, an adult male, was pronounced deceased at the scene. The second victim, an adult female, was transported to a local hospital with critical injuries.

This is being investigated as a homicide and no one is in custody. Detectives are working to determine what led up to the shooting. Crime scene personnel and investigators will continue to canvass the area for physical evidence and potential witnesses.

If anyone has any information they are asked to contact Homicide detectives directly at 816-234-5043 or the TIPS Hotline anonymously at 816-474-TIPS. There is a reward of up to $25,000 for information submitted anonymously to the TIPS hotline.
