Killa City: Drive-by leaves one dead, two injured

Posted by Justin Kendall on Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 9:00 AM

Last night, KMBC Channel 9 called the scene of a drive-by shooting "Terror Town." In January, The Kansas City Star did a three-part series calling the 64130 zip code the "Murder Factory." No matter what it's called, yesterday marked the first murder of the year in the area. A 38-year-old man was fatally shot in the head by a stray bullet while sitting on a porch in the 4400 block of Agnes Avenue yesterday afternoon, The Kansas City Star reported.

The 38-year-old wasn't the only one injured in the drive-by shooting. The Star says witnesses saw four men drive by "in a maroon or burgundy Chevy Impala" with "tinted windows and a Kansas temporary license tag" do the drive-by. A man in the back seat of the car shot a 17-year-old man and a 27-year-old man in a neighboring yard. The men were taken to a hospital "where one was in serious condition and the other in good condition."
