Add two more to the death toll. Like Crime Scene KC, we thought Rodney Kemp was Kansas City's first homicide of 2009. Turns out there were two before him.
says the Jackson County Medical Examiner ruled the death of 4-month-old
Jeremiah Candler, who died last year, a homicide on Monday. On November
18, the baby was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. The Star says the police wouldn't release additional details for fear of hurting their investigation.
Also Monday, Freddy Medina,
16, died after being shot in the head while drinking and posing for
pictures with a rifle that he had bought on the street. Medina and
three friends were partying in his bedroom at 1:35 a.m. last Friday.
The Star says:
One friend felt woozy and loosened his grip on therifle. When the gun began to fall, he tightened his grip, causing the
gun to fire.
The friends ran from the house.
Homicide
detectives questioned Medina's three friends (although that term seems
a little strong) and let them go. Police say the shooting appears to be
accidental, although the investigation continues.

So, the KC murder machine didn't quit working...it was just jammed.
Last year was 126 people, only 17 white. To keep pace, we need 2-3 a week with the first whitey due to go down this month. Then again, perhaps one of the children killed were white?
