Man & Woman Shot Dead In Kansas City Monday Afternoon

After a violent weekend . . . Bloodshed persists into the work week . . . Here's the report shared with media and more info from the scene . . .

Homicide 9800 block of Marsh

This afternoon about 2pm officers were called to the 9800 block of Marsh on a shooting call. On arrival officers located two shooting victims (one adult male and one adult female) in the front of a residence there.

Officers rendered aid until EMS arrived and took over. EMS transported both victims to the hospital for treatment of life threatening injuries.

Initial responding officers took one adult male subject of interest into custody for further investigation.

Later this afternoon detectives were notified that both victims were declared deceased at the hospital.

Homicide Unit detectives have responded to the scene and are leading the investigation.  Detectives are canvassing for any additional witnesses and talking to people who were at the scene when officers arrived. Crime Scene Investigators are processing the scene for evidence.

Preliminary investigation indicates that a disturbance took place at the residence, between multiple subjects known to each other, which escalated into gunfire that struck both the deceased victims.

Detectives are not looking for any additional suspects and there is not believed to be any ongoing threat to residents in the area.

We are committed to assisting victims of violent crimes through use of Missouri’s Protection Program for Victims/Witnesses of Violent Crime. Funding for temporary, or even permanent relocation, may be available but is subject to pre-approval by the State’s administering agency.

We are working with Partners for Peace in all our homicide investigations to monitor risks for retaliation and provide social services to affected residents.
