Keeping an accurate count of the homicides isn't easy. The number always seems to fluctuate, like what we found out today thanks to The Kansas City Star. The homicide count stands at 75. It was at 76 but Kansas City police and the Jackson County Medical Examiner removed two homicides -- the medical examiner ruled one accidental and the other natural causes -- and added a new homicide to the list.
The Star says the deaths of Freddy H. Medina and Eric L. Davis were removed from the list while the death of Russell S. Palmer was added.
Medina, 16, died on January 5 after being shot in the head while drinking and posing for cell phone pictures with a rifle.
Davis, 36, died several months after being shot in the head, but the medical examiner ruled his cause of death due to a stroke unrelated to the gunshot wound, the Star reported.
The medical examiner ruled 38-year-old Palmer's death a homicide after "he died from a cardiac arrhythmia" suffered while fighting with security guards at a Northland Walmart and cocaine intoxication, the Star reported.

I was really trying to piss someone off with these posts. Where's the hate for the man speaking truth, disregarding the disgusting politically correct approach to communication?
Killa City indeed! Why would you use the term "Killa City"? It should be spelled killer, but I assume you use killa just as blacks would use it. It makes sense b/c they do most of the killing, so why not use an ebonic type spelling for such a word? This would be considered a racist heading if this were a right-wing oriented site.
Get the dark side of your population to work so I can read some more murder stories. Get after it. I'd sure like to see KC top the list of most murderous cities in America. Maybe someday the city will just fold up and I can enjoy the view when I drive to Missouri in the future.
