Westport Incident: One Person Dead, Another Injured on Sunday Morning

KANSAS CITY, Missouri —

One man was shot and killed early on Sunday morning in Kansas City, Missouri; the incident is being looked into by the Kansas City Police Department.

When gunshots were heard at roughly 3:30 in the morning, the KCPD reports that officers were called to the vicinity of 39th Street and Broadway near Westport.

After a shootout in east Kansas City, a police ID guy and a teenager died. Officers responded to a closed store on the northeast corner of the intersection and discovered an unconscious male suffering from gunshot wounds in the parking lot.

The victim was taken to a hospital with potentially fatal injuries by emergency medical personnel after officers tried to save his life.

Detectives learned later that another man had been shot nearby and was being driven to a hospital in a private vehicle while they were still on the site. The severity of his wounds was reported to be non-critical.

The individual who had been brought to a hospital with potentially fatal injuries passed away on Sunday morning, officers were told later this morning.

The 29-year-old victim, Deshuan McKinzey, has been named.

“That happened? I had no idea!” Emily Hagen, who frequently visits Midtown, remarked, “I detest that.” We enjoy spending time down here; we’re from right over the state border. It seems especially friendly in this neighborhood. I’m sad to hear that happened; we normally feel very comfortable in this neighborhood with the variety of bars and stuff that they have.
