K.C. police fatally shoot suspect after chase

The Kansas City Star

KANSAS CITY — Kansas City police officers chasing a suspect on foot shot and killed the suspect about 3:20 this afternoon in the 2600 block of Jackson Avenue.

The man pointed a gun at police as they approached. After being shot near a privacy fence in a vacant mowed lot, he dropped to his knees and threw the gun a few feet away, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Officials did not release his name.

According to police, the man was a passenger in a stolen car that officers had spotted in the 1700 block of Van Brunt Boulevard. Police did not chase the car but asked the helicopter unit to follow it and report its location.

The helicopter unit reported seeing the car weave through traffic and run stop signs and stop lights before a passenger bailed out near 26th and Norton. Officers in the area began searching for that person and soon caught up to him on foot. The officer was only about 2 feet away when he shot the suspect, said Capt. Rich Lockhart.

The car’s driver continued to 19th Street and Jackson Avenue, where he was arrested.

Crime scene workers recovered the gun.

His death marks the city’s seventh homicide in seven days. Three of those homicides occurred today.
