The victim was taken to a hospital where he later died. He was later identified as 29-year-old Ahmad Cartwright.
Detectives spent much of the morning canvassing the area looking for clues to help them solve the homicide and determine who was the shooter.
"Obviously you can hear it’s quiet right now, so the sound of several gunshots may awaken somebody or somebody may have seen or heard something. Even the smallest little thing can be super helpful to detectives at this point,” said KCPD Sgt. Jake Becchina.
Police say one of their first steps is identifying the victim, from there, they can figure it if the victim lived in the area or what he was doing there.
