Crook was reportedly killed when someone walked up to the vehicle he was sitting in and opened fire.
From KMBC's report:
The victim's father said his son, Craig Crook, was not involved in drugs or anything illegal. He said Crook was on the way to pick up a nephew and the nephew's friend and take them to an event at the Sprint Center.
Sad news. Crook is KCMO's eighth homicide victim of 2012. His death comes a day after the Violence Policy Center released a study showing that Missouri has the nation's highest black homicide rate. It's the second year in a row that the Show-Me State has ranked first in black homicides.

2/1/2012 now Ch 5 has taken to NOT reporting anything about the Criminals and will no longer report who are what the suspects / criminal look like,, either NO Description or a very very vague description- so far every single TV News station in this city is committed to providing cover for the criminals in this city, and if you'll notice on their news web sites, they now only call them men, or suspects or a man was arrested, etc. no decisive description what so ever about anything as to help the public and other police departments, all kansas city's news TV Station have taken the definate approach to Hide the facts from the public and protect and offer protection to the criminals as much as possible , they all should be ashamed for what they are doing ! Those TV Stations responsible are - KCTV 5 - KMBCTV 9 NBC News 4,, all 3 are afraid of saying if the suspects were White - Green- Purple - Black - poka dotted ,,, these new uppty stuck up Self-Righteous dumb ass corporate media CEO's are outright ruining news with their stupid pathetic ignorant attitudes !
these criminals in KC Mo are way behind plan.....with all this warm winter weather they should be way ahead of the 10 murders a month pace they set for themselves last year. Come on boys step up your game....get out there and do some shootin......the Star, the local News Stations and the Mayor need you to keep them busy and save their phoney baloney jobs.......harump!
The Kansas City Star ever reports the FACTS , but NOT KMBC TV CH 9 - wonder why that is ???? Article ----} http://www.kansascity.com/2012/01/27/33963…
Channel 41 action news report the FACTS just like Ch5 - but unlike Ch 9 who won't tell the public and provides cover for the Suspects ! Action 41 news article ---} http://www.nbcactionnews.com/dpp/news/crim…
Yet Channel 5 and other news outlets report the suspects the Public and Law Enforcement need to be on the look out for is 2 Black Males - Why Not KMBC TV CH 9 ?? Why Won't KMBC TV CH9 report the FACTS like other news outlets - KMBC TV is definetly playing the RACE CARD and helping the criminals and provide cover to their crimes , just watch their news broadcasts see for yourself ! Heres KCTV 5's news story on the same shooting incident with better description - http://www.kctv5.com/story/16622949/shooti…
Channel 9's so called report on shooting victim. but won't give a detailed description- Yet Channel 5 says the 2 suspects are BLACK !!! Again Ch9, helping to provide cover to the Criminals of Kansas City- and helping to keep kansas city under seige with all the shootings taking place !! heres the news link ------} http://www.kmbc.com/video/30321806/detail.…
Yet again Channel 9 refuses to give a Description of 2 Shooting Suspects who shot a man, and are still on the loose. So KMBC TV Ch 9, is helping to provide cover to Criminals who commit crimes in Kansas City area by NOT giving a description of the Suspects, all they'll say anymore is police are looking for 2 suspects - KMBC TV Ch 9, will NOT say rather their White, Black or Mexican - KMBC TV CH9 is playing the "POLITICAL RACE Card", and Helping the Criminals and provide cover to them, so the rest of the city is under seige ! This does nothing to help the community, other surrounding Law Enforcement divisions and to Alert the Public to be on the look out for these potential suspects - of course Ch9 will say different and come up with some lame Rhetoric BS Excuse !!!
Well heres thye latest on that issue from Ch9's web site get a load of this - typical under 25 thug gangbanger for ya ~ !! "The U.S. Attorney's Office announced that a man taken into custody in connection with Thursday's shooting in Kansas City has been charged with "illegal firearm possession" - " Kansas City police arrested Larry Davis, 21, near 80th and Campbell streets after a chase. Police said. Police said they found a Romarm 7.62 x 39 mm rifle on the floorboard of the car Davis was driving.
"It is against the law for Davis, a convicted felon, to be in possession of a gun" link ----} http://www.kmbc.com/news/30317710/detail.h…
The numbers are shocking. Kansas is lagging far behind Missouri in Black homicides. Studies show that Kansas Blacks are murdering each other at a third-grade level.
