Two unrelated shooting homicides - one in Midtown and the other in South-Midtown- have raised the August total to 21 and the year-to-date homicide total to 83.
The first was reported to police at 2:29am in the 2100 to 2200 block of East 68th Street. Police arrived a few minutes later and found the victim- reported to be a black male in his late-teens- dead in a yard near the intersection of 68th Street and The Paseo.
Police had little information and no suspect description yet.
Less than 15 minutes later- KC-MO Center Zone patrol officers responding on a shots fired call found another male dead of gunshot wounds in the 3400 block of Locust.
Witnesses reported hearing gunfire and seeing 2 vehicles- one a white pickup truck- speed from the area.
